View Available Hint(s) Studies indicate that acidification of the ocean by the absorption of carbon dioxide is harmful to virtually all marine life and ecosystems. The group most vulnerable to both warming and acidification would be the _________. marine mammals krill and other zooplankton reef corals and other calcareous organisms benthic crustaceans pelagic fishes
The correct answer is - reef corals and other calcareous organisms.
Explanation:
Acidification of the ocean is the continuous uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reducing the pH of the water of the ocean. The acidification and warmth due to increasing the carbon dioxide in water cause harmful effects on the life of all marine life.
It affects coral reefs and other calcareous organisms as well as other organisms. These calcareous organisms required more efficiency to repair their cells or have to thickening of layers to survive in case of acidification of the ocean or to
Oxygen and nitrogen are very electronegative than any other element in the periodic table hence they have more tendency to attract an electron towards itself
