If phytoplankton became extinct, a wide range of marine organisms would face starvation, particularly those that rely directly on phytoplankton as their primary food source, such as zooplankton. This, in turn, would impact larger marine animals, including small fish, which depend on zooplankton, and ultimately larger predators like whales, seals, and seabirds. The loss of phytoplankton would disrupt the entire marine food web, leading to significant declines in biodiversity and ecosystem health.

How do the activities of producers affect the lives of other organisms?

Since producers are typically at the bottom of the food chain (unless its a venus fly trap, which produces and is a tier 2 consumer--i think) all other organisms depend on them. If all the phytoplankton in a lake dies, for example, the zooplankton will starve, the minnows that eat the zooplankton will starve, the largemouth bass that eat the minnows will starve, and eventually the giant muskellunge that eats bass will starve too, leaving the lake barren and empty. If the producers survive, everything survives, and vice versa, to put it simply.

What do you think might happen to a community of organisms if grizzly bears suddenly become extinct?

It's never good to remove an apex predator from an environment. Bears have their place, like removing the sick and weak animals from the population, so they won't breed and maybe pass on the sickly genes to their offspring.
