Hey there!
What do you think should be the correct answer ?

abhisar · Answer

Light independent reaction will affect photsynthesis which will not let the plants synthesize food by using sunlight. Thus the plants will die. Now if plants will die, animals (primary consumers )will not get anything to eat and thus they will die following which secondary consumers will also die and so on
