Since all living things are connecting in one way or another, yes, if one is eliminated, the ecosystem will be affected. Depending on the species removed, this could be a minor or very major impact. Tigers are considered apex predators, since they are at the top of the food chain.
Apex predators are responsible for keeping the populations of prey species in check, so without tigers, numbers of deer and other grazing animals will increase. With more grazing animals, more plant life will be eaten, reducing habitat for small animals that live in undergrowth, reducing food for herbivorous insects, reducing the population of the birds and animals that eat those insects, and even affecting the abiotic environment eventually, as more plants die of overgrazing, soil erosion along riverbanks will increase, changing the water chemistry and increasing sediment.
These impacts were seen in Yellowstone when wolves were being highly hunted. When wolves were reintroduced, balance was restored, and people learned what happened when you took out a part of the food chain. Hopefully people will see how important tigers are to the ecosystem as a whole and better measures will be taken to protect them and their habitat.

Why will there be a shortage of food if plants and animals become extinct?
If all animals go extinct there will be no need for food!
When plants and animals cease to exist they are said to be?
When a species dies out completely, it becomes extinct.
How does deforestration affect animals humans and the environment?
Animals loose their habitat and die out or become extinct. Humans loose plants which could be useful, loose forests which balance the atmosphere by absobing CO2 and giving out Oxygen.. Local weather can be affected and loss of the root systems can cause landslides. The deforested areas can rapidly become barren and turn into dessert.
How does continental rifting lead to changes in plants and animals?
Continental rifting will cause plants and animals to evolve due to their changing habitats. Plants and animals that become isolated will begin to diverge and change to fit into their new ecosystems.
What will happen if all animals eat only plants?
If all the plants in an area are consumed, the animals that eat them will either migrate or risk starvation. This problem affects herbivores as well as carnivores. Without herbivores, carnivores must also migrate or risk starving to death.
