Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Every organism follows this food chain by depending on another organism. 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The population of frogs will increase as there would be no snakes to feed on them and the population of eagles will decrease as there would be no snakes for them to eat.

Detailed explanation-3: -For example, if we remove plants from a food chain, no organism will get food as plants are the primary producers in the food chain. If herbivores are removed from a food chain then carnivores will starve and die and producers are also affected and may die due to competition for space and nutrients.
