Explanation of Solution
Autotrophs like green plants trap the light energy and convert it into chemical energy by the process called photosynthesis and make organic compounds such as sugars.
Along with the glucose molecule, oxygen is also produced in this process which is utilized for cellular respiration by the plant and by all other organisms.
Loss of forest ultimately decreases the oxygen availability in the environment, which hamper the aerobic process of cellular respiration and as a result, it adversely affects the production of ATP molecules.
The other adverse effect of loss of forest is the scarcity of food for consumers in the food web. As a result, the availability of substrate (sugar molecule) for the process of cellular respiration will reduce.
Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are the interdependent processes. Photosynthesis utilizes carbon-dioxide, which has produced in cellular respiration and, Cellular respiration utilizes oxygen, which has produced in the process of photosynthesis.
