What else can I help you with?
Where does the energy for a food chain or food web originate from?
The sun. The sun gives energy to the plants, and then the herbivores, then carnivores eat the herbivores or omnivore's eat herbivores
Omnivores get energy?
Omnivores get energy from the food they eat, as does carnivores and herbivores..
What are the links between the energy that carnivores get from eating to the entergy captured by photosynthesis?
The sun gives off energy in the form of sunlight. The sunlight is then absorbed by plants. Herbivores and first-level consumers eat the plants, therefore absorbing some of the energy. Carnivores and second-level consumers eat the herbivores, absorbing some of THEIR energy, which came from the plants in the first place!
What types of organisms obtain energy by eating only plants?
They are Herbivorous.
How does an elephant obtain energy is it a producer a consumer a carnivore a herbivore an omnivore or a scavenger?
Elephants are herbivores.
How do herbivores obtain their energy?
By running around
What is the second level of the energy pyramid?
Herbivores
What average percentage of plant production goes to animal consumption?
100% The sun gives energy to the plants, the plants give energy to the herbivores, and the carnivores get their energy from the herbivores.
Is more energy available to the carnivores or the herbivores in a community?
In a community, more energy is generally available to herbivores than to carnivores. This is because energy is transferred through the food chain, with primary producers (plants) capturing sunlight and providing energy to herbivores. Carnivores, being higher up in the food chain, receive less energy due to the inefficiencies of energy transfer between trophic levels, typically losing about 90% of energy at each step. As a result, herbivores have greater access to energy compared to carnivores.
Which is larger in a energy pyramid consumers carnivores producers or herbivores?
There is a good reason why there are more herbivores than carnivores. When a carnivore eats an herbivore, it only absorbs a small amount of energy from the animal because herbivores only absorb a small amount of energy from the plants they eat. Therefore, a carnivore must eat more herbivores to receive the energy they need to survive.
Why is energy lost when herbivores consume primary producers?
Energy is lost when herbivores consume primary producers because not all of the energy from the plants is transferred to the herbivores. Some energy is used by the plants for their own growth and maintenance, and some is lost as heat during the process of digestion and metabolism. This results in a decrease in the overall energy available as it moves up the food chain.
What do herbivores do with the energy from plants?
Herbivores obtain energy from plants by consuming them and digesting their carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. This energy is used for various bodily functions, including growth, reproduction, and movement. Additionally, herbivores convert some of this energy into biomass, which can then be transferred to higher trophic levels when they are consumed by carnivores or omnivores. Ultimately, the energy from plants supports the entire food web.
