The oxygen level would drop and the carbon dioxide level would increase.

Because plants use carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, there would be a huge increase of the carbon dioxide in the universe as animals released it but nothing absorbed it. There would also be a vast shortage of oxygen as humans consumed it but it was not released by plants due to photosynthesis. The lack of oxygen would probably deplete the o-zone layer, increasing the amount of radiation let through the atmosphere from the sun to toxic levels.

Not a lot. The oceans do more for the atmosphere than plants. If you look at the example that were only recording half of the omissions that we know were producing an its not going to the already over deforested carbon sinks, me thinks it wouldn't do a lot. Yeah sure all plant life would die but seeds would still exist an when it started again they'd germinate an off we'd go again, (dinosaurs) you'd have to explain why it stopped to decide how it would effect the atmosphere, due to no sunlight? some mad plant disease, there's a lot of varients with many outcomes.
