B) cortisol ensures that the brain has glucose when it’s necessary. Cortisol is a steroid hormone that helps control blood sugar levels, metabolism, and inflammation. Glucose, also known as sugar, is an energy source used in cells in the body. The brain is highly demanding of energy since it is so rich in nerve cells and neurons, so glucose is essential to the brain. Too much can harm the brain though, so it is important for the cortisol to control the sugar levels.
In the open ocean, especially around the surface, one of the main sources of food for fish would be the algae that grow at the surface & photosynthesize with the sun. Without fish to regulate the amount of surface algae, they overgrow and block the sun from the organisms on the coral reef.
Without sun, the reef is not able to sustain themselves & it's down hill from there.
