Answer:

The enhanced level of carbon dioxide in the ocean can turn the pH of the seawater more acidic. As the water in the ocean becomes more acidic the calcium carbonate shells, which is a component of various species starts to dissolve.  

The majority of these species are the secondary or the primary producers, thus, the base of the food web would start declining in the biodiversity. Thus, if the base of the food web began to decline, the animals found further in the food web also gets affected, thus, reducing the biodiversity of the ocean in complete.

They can be very dangerous and usually require medical care right away. Ventricular arrhythmias include ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. Ventricular tachycardia is an abnormal electrical impulses that start in the ventricles and cause an abnormally fast heartbeat. This often happens if the heart has a scar from a previous heart attack. Usually, the ventricle will contract more than 200 times a minute. Ventricular fibrillation is an irregular heart rhythm consisting of very rapid, uncoordinated fluttering contractions of the ventricles.The ventricles do not pump blood properly, they simply quiver.
