If all the consumers in a food chain died, only the lowest rung of a food chain (the autonomic non-consumer) would survive.
The consumers would die of starvation.

Herbivores would be forced to range wider.
The consumers would die of starvation.
the food chain would die/end
If tertiary consumers were to die out in an ecosystem, there would be a significant disruption in the food web. Their absence would likely lead to an overpopulation of secondary consumers, which could deplete the populations of primary consumers and subsequently affect the primary producers. This imbalance can result in habitat degradation and a decline in biodiversity, as the ecosystem struggles to maintain its equilibrium without the regulatory role that tertiary consumers play. Ultimately, the entire ecosystem's health and stability would be compromised.
Very simple. The whole food chain would crumble apart. Pygmy Rabbits are first level consumers; herbivores that eat Sagebush as a main dish. If they died, their many predators would suddenly be left without a food source. Most of their predators are carnivores; they can't eat the Sagebrush that Pygmy Rabbits eat!
eventually all of the consumers that eats those plants (producers) would die off or move to a different habitat. But this will most likely not happen because it would be very hard to permanently destroy all of the producers in that biome.
Well, I think that they'd be more dead animals around. Plus scavengers include a lot of vital animals that are the key to survival to man-kind. So I guess we all know what would happen to us...
Most of them would lose money from farming/ plant growing, this would also have a great doubt on whether people can eat healthy because all the produce like fruits and tea leafs are gone. Most of the consumers would fall into a great depression, and would be forced to eat other nutritional foods.
the food chain would be totally messed up other animals would be eating different animals making predation worse and causing the popluation to decrease. hope that helps Astred
I would cry :'(
