Answer:

If habitat loss and fishing continue unchecked then the leatherback turtles would become extinct soon.

The extinction of a species would affect the entire food chain, that is, it would affect the organism present at a lower trophic level as well as the organisms present at the higher trophic level.

Similarly, the extinction of leatherback turtle affects both jellyfish as well as killer whales.  

The population of jellyfish would increase in absence of their predator.

In contrast, the population of killer whales would decrease due to absence or decrease in their prey or food.
