Detailed explanation-1: -If all the carnivores are removed from the earth, the population of herbivores, will increase. Large population of herbivores will overgraze. As a result, all plants will disappear from the earth surface and ultimately the earth may become a desert.
Detailed explanation-2: -If an organism is removed from the food chain, it spoils the flow of energy and nutrient in the ecosystem. It disrupts the balance of the food chain. As a result, the organisms which depend on others for food will die due to starvation.
