Ecosystems: Coral Reefs
Corals are carbonate secreting organisms that all have a similar structure, the polyp. These are invertebrates that have a ring of tentacles used to capture their prey. Contrary to popular belief, corals are not plants, but are actually animals, and are closely related to sea anemones.
This GCSE Ecosystems module introduces coral reefs to your students, explaining:
- What are coral reefs? What are their characteristics?
- What are the different types of coral reefs?
- What are the characteristics of warm water coral reefs?
