caption: Similarly, ocean acidification is predicted to dramatically alter coral reefs, as shown here. The photo on the left (click) shows a relatively healthy reef, with a carbon dioxide concentration of 375 ppm. As you move from left to right, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the water increases, meaning that the pH decreases. In the photo on the right (click), where the carbon dioxide concentration is greater than 500ppm, we can see that the reef is severely degraded, and very few corals survive. Many organisms live on coral reefs, and if corals disappear, they won't be able to find food or shelter. Ocean acidification therefore represents a serious threat to the survival of many marine ecosystems.

To do so, you\u2019re going to do an experiment in which you simulate ocean acidification, using yeast to generate carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide released by the yeast will mimic the carbon dioxide humans release into the environment through the burning of fossil fuels", "Image XResolution": "300", "Image YResolution": "300", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Inch", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
