There is a type of algae that lives in the cells of corals. These algae process carbon through photosynthesis and pass it on to corals in the form of glucose, a sugar that provides the energy corals need to survive and function. Corals offer protection for the algae and also produce wastes that the algae need for photosynthesis.

Warmer water temperatures caused by global warming disrupt photosynthesis in the algae, causing a poisonous build-up that threatens corals. This causes corals to force the algae out of their cells.

Predict what will happen to the algae and corals if global warming continues.
