Chapter 25.4, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The effect of coral bleaching on corals and other species in the community.
Introduction:
Corals are the aquatic invertebrate organisms inside which the algae or dinoflagellate protists live symbiotically. When the water temperature rises, the coral polyps expels the dinoflagellates living inside them due to which the corals turn white. This is known as coral bleaching.

WHAT IF? Suggest a possible reason why species in thegreen algal lineage may have been more likely to colonizeland than species in the red algal lineage.
MAKE CONNECTIONS Freshwater bivalvesfeed on and can reduce the abundance of photosynthetic protists and bacteria. As such, would theextinction of freshwater bivalves likely have weakor strong effects on aquatic communities (seeConcept 28.6)? Explain.
WRITE ABOUT A THEME: INTERACTIONS Organisms interactwith each other and the physical environment. In a shortessay (100–150 words), explain how the response of diatompopulations to a drop in nutrient availability can affect bothother organisms and aspects of the physical environment(such as carbon dioxide concentrations).
