What would most likely happen to the herbivore and low level carnivore population size if most the top preditors in an area died?

Their populations would boom because they would no longer be preyed upon. Ultimately, though, they would most likely exceed their food supply and eventually have their own population crash.

What would happen if number of herbivore decline?
If herbivores were removed from the planet, the food chain wouldn't have a bottom. Some carnivores eat smaller carnivores, but the lowest carnivore on the food chain would die if herbivores would be removed, causing a chain reaction and, well, the carnivores that eat that carnivore would die, and the carnivores that eat THAT carnivore will die... etc. The world would be a total mess.
Do detritivores eat herbivores?

What would happen if the herbivores died in a food web?

Describe how plants might get into the stomach of a carnivore?
Plants might get into the stomach of a carnivore if they are consumed along with the prey. This can happen when the carnivore preys on an herbivorous animal that has recently consumed plant material. Additionally, in some cases, carnivores might intentionally consume plant material for various reasons such as aiding digestion or obtaining nutrients that may be lacking in their diet.

What will happen to a food chain if some of the organisms were completely destroyed?
If a food chain loses an organism, it creates an imbalance and disruption in the food chain. For example, if a species of bird becomes extinct, the insect population can grow dramatically which creates problems for other creatures.
