Which consequence results when coral bleaching causes algal expulsion?

💡 Explanation

Increased protein catabolism causes necrosis because symbiotic zooxanthellae provide coral's primary energy source; without them, the coral's energy reserves deplete, therefore protein catabolism accelerates leading to cell death, rather than sustained function.
