Textbook Question
Chapter 54.2, Problem 4CC
MAKE CONNECTIONS Ø Rising atmospheric CO2, levels lead to ocean acidification (see Figure 3.12) and higher ocean temperatures, both of which can reduce krill abundance. Predict how a drop in krill abundance might affect other organisms in the food web shown in Figure 54.15. Which organisms are particularly at risk? Explain.
