Question

Select the living organisms that will decrease as a result of the loss of coral in the food web.

Answer 1

Butterfly fish, Triggerfish, parrotfish, and sharks

Explanation: Because the first three fish listed feed on coral, their populations will decrease if coral is eliminated because that means there will be less food to go around for the populations to consume. Many will die out. If those fish die, there will be less of them for the sharks to eat, causing the shark population to decrease as well.
