While life and death are believed by some to be ultimately spiritual in nature rather than physical, and we might imagine that when a coral reef dies, the soul of the reef wafts gently to heaven, it is still true that death is accompanied by physical changes of various sorts. In the case of coral reefs, the mineral component remains but the polyps who secreted that mineral component can die. Loss of polyps would constitute a physical change.

How would biodiversity be affected if coral died?
Coral reefs are often home to animals which can only live in coral reefs. As coral reefs across the world begin to die off, so do many animals. Examples include simple shrimp and cleaner wrasses which feed on the algae and plant matters which grow on the coral. Animals which eat these smaller bottomfeeders will then start to suffer as many of them cannot move into colder water regions.

Is a dead mouse a physical or chemical change?
When something is alive, there are chemical reactions going on constantly within it. The technical definition of being deadis that of chemical equilibrium. When a system (for example, a beaker with chemicals inside it, or an animal) is in chemical equilibrium, there is no reaction that can take place without an input of energy. Since an animal in chemical equilibrim cannot do anything, it is considered completely dead.So, in short, dying (that is, ceasing to be alive) is nota chemical change. Instead, dying is a lack of chemical change.
