Which consequence results when increased ocean acification reduces the calcification rates of corals?

💡 Explanation

Coral bleaching from decreased calcification occurs because corals rely on symbiotic zooxanthellae for nutrients established through photosynthesis; therefore, the photosynthetic output decreases leading to the expulsion of zooxanthellae, rather than enhanced coral growth under ideal conditions.
