Question
increasing co2 in the ocean makes it harder for shelled organisms to: photosynthesize sink breathe make calcium carbonate
Brief Explanations
Increasing ocean CO2 shifts the carbonate - buffer equilibrium. More CO2 leads to more hydrogen ions, which reduces the availability of carbonate ions. Shelled organisms need carbonate ions to form calcium carbonate for their shells.
