Solution

Impact of removing all organisms of a trophic level is different for different trophic levels.
For example, if we remove producers from a food chain, no organism will get food, if we remove herbivores from a food chain then carnivores will die and producers will also die due to competition for space and nutrients.
No, we can't remove any trophic level without causing damage to the ecosystem as one is dependent on others for their survival if we remove anyone then it will create an imbalance in the ecosystem.
