Omnivores get energy?
Omnivores get energy from the food they eat, as does carnivores and herbivores..
Which are the most efficient users of solar energy herbivores or carnivores or omnivores or parasites?
Herbivores.
Why do herbivores have more energy than carnivores?
In order for a food chain to be stable, there must always be less biomass as you go up in trophic levels (i.e. from plants to herbivores to carnivores). This is basically because energy is always lost as it is transferred to each successive level, since herbivores use some of the energy they get from plants to stay alive (leaving less for carnivores who eat them), and so there will always be fewer carnivores than herbivores.
How do omnivores carnivores herbivores depend on each other?
carnivores would totally depend on herbivores to transfer energy from plants into a form of which they can eat,themselves. omnivores would partially depend as they can only transfer certain plants into energy.
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!

Which are the most efficient users of solar energy herbivores or carnivores or omnivores or parasites?
Herbivores.
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

Why are there fewer top carnivores than herbivore in most land ecosystem?
There are fewer top carnivores than herbivores in a land ecosystem, primarily because they are more resources available to herbivores than carnivores. For example, there are many plants available for herbivores to eat, and carnivores have a limited choice of herbivores, depending on the environment. Think of it this way: If there were more carnivores than herbivores, then eventually, there will be a very little amount of herbivores left for carnivores to eat, and those carnivores will either have to adapt, migrate, or starve. 90 percent of energy is lost when one organism consumes another. This means that a carnivore gets 90 percent less energy from eating a herbivore than the herbivore gets from eating a plant. So, in order for a carnivore to get as much energy as a herbivore, it must eat more herbivores. So, if it were the other way around, the carnivores would not have enough food to eat.
What direction does the energy flow in the ecosystem?
From the sun to plants to herbivores to carnivores to the earth.
How do omnivores carnivores herbivores depend on each other?
carnivores would totally depend on herbivores to transfer energy from plants into a form of which they can eat,themselves. omnivores would partially depend as they can only transfer certain plants into energy.
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.
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 is an accurate example of how energy flows through an ecosystem?
sunlight --> plants --> herbivores --> carnivores
Why is an herbivores diet more energy efficient than a carnivores diet Explain why?
a herbiorous diet be argued as being more energy efficient tnan a carnivores
What do carnivores from the savanna depend on for food?
actually they depend on our main source of energy the sun indirectly the sun lets plants photosynthesize then the herbivores will eat the plants so they can survive and so the carnivores will eat the herbivores this is called the food chain
