Which outcome occurs when coral bleaching impacts Symbiodinium?

💡 Explanation

When coral expels Symbiodinium during bleaching, reduced photosynthetic output by zooxanthellae is an outcome because mutualistic symbiosis is damaged resulting in lower energy available, therefore coral bleaching, rather than benefiting calcification or thermal resilience.
