Which organisms use it?

6. What would happen if photosynthesis stopped?
All the plants would slowly die of starvation because the other plants stopped making food.
Next all the animals would die because there would be no more plants for them to live off.
And everything that uses oxygen to breath would die because all the plants have died and stopped producing the air we breathe.
