Question

what environmental factors do symbiodinium react to? select all that apply. salinity temperature waves ocean acidification

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Symbiodinium is a type of algae that forms symbiotic relationships with corals. Environmental factors such as salinity (salt - water balance), temperature (affects metabolic processes), and ocean acidification (due to increased carbon dioxide in the ocean, which can disrupt calcification processes related to its coral hosts) can significantly impact Symbiodinium. Waves, while part of the marine environment, are more of a physical disturbance factor and not a direct physiological stressor in the same way as the other three factors for Symbiodinium's basic cellular and symbiotic functions.

Answer:

Salinity, Temperature, Ocean Acidification
