Answer:

the cheetah is a predator and hunter at the top of the food chain, so its disappearance would impact its prey and so on down the line. It is usually the case that the disappearance of animals and organisms that are more widespread in the ecosystem and food chain have the greatest impact and there would be very little grass left because there are so many prey left since the cheetah is not there to decrease the population

Hope this helps :)
