Coral is a keystone species for the Great Barrier Reef. Many organisms and ecosystems in the reef rely on coral for a variety of reasons. Ocean acidification bleaches coral and kills coral. Explain the impact this would have on the biodiversity of the ecosystems within the Great Barrier Reef.

The impact this would have on the biodiversity of the ecosystems within the Great Barrier Reef is that knowing its takes million of years for coral reef to develop it would be devastating as a end result because many organisms and sea lifes rely on the Great Barrier Reef for survival.

those characteristics are cellular organization, reproduction, metabolism, homeostasis, heredity, response to stimuli, growth and development, and adaptation through evolution. some things, such as a virus, demonstrate only a few of these characteristics and are, therefore, not alive
