Solution
Autotrophs:
Autotrophs are organisms that can prepare their food.
Autotrophs use inorganic carbon and sunlight to form organic substances in their body.
Green plants are autotrophs and carry out photosynthesis.
The disappearance of green plants:
Photosynthesis is how plants can prepare their food using carbon dioxide and sunlight to give oxygen and glucose.
If the green plants disappear from the earth, the oxygen concentration will decrease, and carbon dioxide concentration will increase, making it impossible for organisms to breathe.
Disappearance of green plants from the earth will not allow life to sustain.
