Question
what benefit do zooxanthellae get from their mutualistic relationship with corals?
oxygen
lower ph
color
sugars from photosynthesis
carbon dioxide
Brief Explanations
In the mutualistic relationship between zooxanthellae and corals, corals provide a protected environment and carbon - dioxide for zooxanthellae. Zooxanthellae perform photosynthesis. Corals respire and release carbon - dioxide which is used by zooxanthellae in photosynthesis to produce sugars. The corals also provide oxygen from their respiration which is beneficial for zooxanthellae.
