More energy is lost by the Carnivore eating the Herbivore because of the 10% rule. When the Herbivore eats the plant, he gains 10% of the plants energy, but when the Carnivore eats the Herbivore, the Carnivore is getting 10% of the plants 10% from the Herbivore.

How can producers get into a carnivore if a carnivore eats only animals.?
There are 2 answers:1.a carnivore eats a animal with producers in the dead animals stomach.2. In terms of energy, to get the energy of the producers, the producers get eaten by a herbivore of omnivore which carries the energy from the food it eats which is then passed to the carnivore if the carnivore eats the herbivore or omnivore.It's means lthe animals who just eat meat like Lion.

What organism relies on others organism for food and energy?
a consumer- eg. herbivore, carnivore, etc.
Who will spend more energy to find food herbivore or a carnivore?
Herbivores. In a food chain, energy is passed from one link to another. When a herbivore eats, only a fraction of the energy (that it gets from the plant food) becomes new body mass; the rest of the energy is lost as waste or used up by the herbivore to carry out its life processes (e.g., movement, digestion, reproduction). Therefore, when the herbivore is eaten by a carnivore, it passes only a small amount of total energy (that it has received) to the carnivore.

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.

What is an omnivore producer?
well all those are consumers, the herbivore, the carnivore, and omnivore, they eat other organisms for energy.butsun ---> grass --> insects ---> rabbit ---> wolfwhere all energy comes from ---> producter ---> herbivore ---> omnivore ---> carnivore
