    0
    13

    This stress can cause disruption of normal photosynthetic processes in the coral's Zooxanthellae which leads to coral bleaching.

    0
    14

    0
    17

    At elevated temperatures, the photosynthetic system of Zooxanthellae is easily overwhelmed by incoming light leading to production of reactive oxygen species.

    0
    18

    These are a source of oxidative stress in the coral's tissue, causing the coral to expel Zooxanthellae to avoid further tissue damage.

    0
    19

    The loss of Zooxanthellae makes the white calcium carbonate coral skeleton visible through the transparent tissue, making the coral appear bright white or‘bleached'.

    0
    20

    Coral can survive short-term disturbances, but if the conditions that lead to the expulsion of the Zooxanthellae persist, the coral's chances of survival diminish.

    0
    21

    Oil leakage from ships can cause corals to experience tissue death, change their rate of calcification, expel Zooxanthellae, and lead to larval death, among other stress responses.

    These Zooxanthellae are all very different, but share the same spherical form that enables them to live within corals and many other tropical marine creatures in mutually beneficial relationships.

    0
    25

    Bleaching is a stress response that occurs when the coral-Zooxanthellae relationship breaks down and the Zooxanthellae are expelled from the coral host or when pigments within the Zooxanthellae are degraded.
