Why are carnivores and producers and herbivores needed in order to maintain an ecosystem?
Because all three of those types of organisms need energy
How does every consumer in an ecosystem depend on producers?
without producers, consumers could not survive because producers are basically plants, which herbivores eat, and then carnivores consume them, so it depends a lot on producers.
Why is there no food chain without herbivores and carnivores?
herbivores dont matter. without carnivores no animals would be eaten
What are some herbivore animals in the ocean?
There are many herbivores that live in the ocean, without them, there would be no ecosystem. One is the leopard shark, which is a bottom-feeder. Bottom-feeders eat plant particles and other remains, so they could also be considered omnivores, and otters, which feed on underwater plant life. Many fish feed on kelp too, which is another kind of plant. Of coarse, there are many other herbivores in the deep, some of which have not been discovered yet.
Does a ecosystem need living things?
Yes. An ecosystem consists of animals, plants, and so forth. Without any of these components then there wouldn't be such thing as an ecosystem.
Could life life on the Earth survive without the sun?
No, plants cannot survive without sunlight, herbivores cannot survive without plants, and I don't think carnivores and omnivores can survive without herbivores. Besides, they would all freeze to death within a few days anyway.
How is domestic bees dying out affecting us?
The bees need to pollinate plants in order for the plants to produce seeds. Without bees, there wouldn't be any veggies and fruits in the super market. No fruits and no veggies? No herbivores. No herbivores? No meat. No meat? No carnivores. No carnivores AND no herbivores? No omnivores (us).
What is the role of the ecosystem?
The main function of ecosystem is energy transferred through food to animals & continue maintain food cycle
Why you need to conserve plant and animal?
Without plants, herbivores would die out. Herbivores being cattle, sheep, horses ect. Vegetables, gone. meat, gone. the world would soon die of hunger. Hope that helped the human race! ^-^
What is photosynthesis and what does it has to do with the food web?
Photosynthesis is when plants use sunlight to create sugars in their chloroplasts. The sugars are plants' 'food' so without photosynthesis herbivores/omnivores could not eat, and without those, carnivores coul not eat. :)

Why could you not eat much without plants?
You couldn't eat anything without plants. Every living thing on out planet is dependent on plants. Some eat plants directly (herbivores), while carnivores eat animals (that eat plants), and omnivores eat both.

Can an ecosystem exist without one of its component?
That depends on which component you remove and how complex the ecosystem is, if for example you were to remove all the mosquitoes from just about any ecosystem, the system would simply adapt and continue on because the mosquito's only function in nature is to spread disease, and annoy the hell out of larger creatures.
Why is the suns energy important to the survival of an organism in an ecosystem?
Sunlight is vital for the process of photosynthesis. Without photosynthesis, plants die, there is no food for herbivores, and the carbon cycle is not happening. Which means: OXYGEN IS DEPLETED! ALL ORGANISMS DIE.
