Increased carbon dioxide (CO2) has caused the ocean temperatures to rise. The chart shows the effects of this change for some marine species. Marine Organism Information Chart Which of the following explanations BEST explains how temperature changes will affect marine biodiversity?
A. High temperatures will cause an increase in the amount of coral loss which will cause a loss of habitat and potentially cause a decrease in the amount of marine biodiversity.
B. Low temperatures will cause a decrease in the amount of coral bleaching which could potentially cause an increase in the amount of marine biodiversity.
C. High temperatures will cause a shift in biochemical homeostasis and fewer fish species and fewer coral species will survive.
D. Low temperatures will cause a shift in biochemical homeostasis and more fish species and more coral species will survive.
