No, herbivores EAT plants it is plants that photosynthesise to make their food and herbivores that eat plants to steal the food the plants have made. ONLY plants can make their own food from scratch (using sunlight), all other living creatures (except some that live on chemicals heated in the earth) depend on plants for their food.

Is photosynthesis a herbivore or a carnivore?
Neither. Herbivores and carnivores are classifications of animals based on what they eat. Photosynthesis is a process carried out by plants and algae.
How do living things in the ecosystem find food?
Plants make their own food by photosynthesis and herbivores go around and look for plants. Omnivores hunt food or does what the herbivores do and carnivores hunt their food.
Why cellular respiration is dependent on photosynthesis?
Because the main fuel of cellular respiration, glucose, ultimately is produced by plants that preform photosynthesis. Even carnivorous heterotrophs, metabolizing protein and lipids, must depend on herbivores eating the plants directly.
Why is photosynthesis essential for all life?
Photosynthesis is important because it produces organic substances, like energy-rich carbohydrates, from simple inorganic ones such as carbon dioxide and water. All organisms need organic compounds, but only those that perform photosynthesis (autotrophs, or producers) can produce their own. The rest of us (heterotrophs, which includes consumers, decomposers, and saprotrophs) rely on autotrophs for a supply of organic substances.
How do plant and animal cells help each other to survive?
Photosynthesis: Plants do the Photosynthesis, if they don't, they die. If the plants die, then herbivores will die out and the carnivores will go with them.Cellular Respiration:
Are grass and trees herbivores?
No, they are plants. They make their food through photosynthesis. Animals who eat plants are herbivores.
Is photosynthesis a herbivore or a carnivore?
Neither. Herbivores and carnivores are classifications of animals based on what they eat. Photosynthesis is a process carried out by plants and algae.
What herbivores lives in an ocean?
phytoplankton, green sea turtle ,manatees and dugongPhytoplankton are not herbivores. They get their energy through photosynthesis. Some radiolaria and foraminifera are herbivores for they eat the algae that produce sugars by photosynthesis. And many other plankton are also herbivorous while their associates are carnivorous, omnivorous or are detritovores. Google will help in listing these microscopic herbivores. Several phyla are involved.Read more: What_herbivores_live_in_the_ocean
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. :)
How do living things in the ecosystem find food?
Plants make their own food by photosynthesis and herbivores go around and look for plants. Omnivores hunt food or does what the herbivores do and carnivores hunt their food.
Are trees carnivores herbivores or omnivores?
Trees are not carnivores, herbivores or omnivores because they make their own food through the process of photosynthesis. Therefore they are autotrophs.
Where does earth get all its energy from?
All energy stems from the sun. For example, all life needs photosynthesis. All of our energy is just converted sunlight from plants. The herbivores eat the plants. The carnivores eat the herbivores.
Is an amoeba an autotoph?
If an amoeba can create its own fuel using a process like photosynthesis, then yes. If it has to scavenge for its food, like herbivores, then it is a heterotroph.
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.
Organism that feeds only on plants?
They get energy from the sun and get the nutrients from the soil and use photosynthesis to make their own food.
What do animals and man get carbon from?
Carbon exists as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which is absorbed by plants during photosynthesis. All food chains start with plants so herbivores get carbon by eating plants and carnivores get carbon by eating herbivores.
Why cellular respiration is dependent on photosynthesis?
Because the main fuel of cellular respiration, glucose, ultimately is produced by plants that preform photosynthesis. Even carnivorous heterotrophs, metabolizing protein and lipids, must depend on herbivores eating the plants directly.
