Is there more carnivores than herbivores?
No. Herbivores always outnumber the carnivores in an ecosystem.
How could carnivores die out if an ecosystem does not have enough plants?
Carnivores live by hunting herbivores. If an ecosystem does not have enough plants to feed a population of herbivores there will not be enough herbivores to feed a population of carnivores and so they will die out.
What is a part of a ecosystem?
producers,herbivores,omnivores,carnivores and decomposere
What happens when herbivores are killed by terrestial ecosystem?
If all herbivores are killed in an ecosystem ultimately all life will die because there is no food source for carnivores
What direction does the energy flow in the ecosystem?
From the sun to plants to herbivores to carnivores to the earth.
Are there more carnivores than herbivores?
I think there is a pretty even amount of carnivores and herbivores. There might be a bit more herbivores because they need more of their species to survive, since the carnivores hunt them.
What is an accurate example of how energy flows through an ecosystem?
sunlight --> plants --> herbivores --> carnivores
How is an ecosystem organized?
Examples: Consumers, primary producers, decomposers, omnivores, carnivores, herbivores.
The theme of in biology maintains that the right balance of plants herbivores and carnivores in an ecosystem is necessary for the ecosystem's health and survival?
stability :)
Why are there fewer carnivores than herbivore?
Plants produce food Herbivores eat plants Carnivores eat herbivores Thus to keep everyone fed there have to be more plants than there are herbivores to eat them (or the herbivores would starve) and more herbivores than carnivores (or the carnivores would starve).
Are there more herbivores or carnivores in the Serengeti?
Should be herbivores since carnivores are higher in the food chain.
