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.
Are the frog are omnivores?
No; frogs are carnivores. They only eat bugs, not plants. most frogs are carnivores, but as tadpoles they are herbivores then they grow up to be a carnivore. However during their juvenile (tadpole stage) they do eat plants and anything they can find edible so they are omnivores at this stage. But literally adult frogs are carnivores for the fact that they are only eating flying insects.
Why predators play an important role in any ecosystem?
Here is a simple but concise answer to your complex question. Ecosystems require carnivores for balance. Without carnivores, plants are are devastated by a surplus of herbivores, and thus cannot survive. This in turn threatens the herbivores with starvation, which is a much more painful death than being preyed upon by carnivores. Essentially, carnivores prevent plants from being wiped out by excessive herbivores, and save said herbivores from starving. By eating them. Sounds harsh, but the alternative is ecological collapse.
What is a conervore?
There is no specific term called "conervore" in biology. It seems to be a misspelling or a made-up word. Can you provide more context or clarify the term you are referring to?
Are snails omnivores carnivores or herbivores?
Snails are herbivores. Snails are omnivores and they consume earthworks with incredible efficiency. Look it up on YouTube "Snail eat worm" A snail eats mostly plants and most living leaves and plant barks. They also eat paper and cardboard believe it or not. That and limestone and chalk to help their shells stay strong
How do decomposers obtain phosphurs?
Plants take up the phosphate ions from the soil. The phosphates then moves from plants to animals when herbivores eat plants and carnivores.
Are lions carnivores or omnivores?
Yes, lions are carnivorous. That means it only eats meat. Surprisingly, most animals are omnivores, that means they eat both plants and animals. But a lion's diet is only made up if things such as antelope, buffalo, and even zebras. It does not include plants in its regular diet. Lions, like other wild cats, are pure carnivores. They feed exclusively on meat. Their preferred prey includes Zebras, Gazelle, Giraffe, wildebeest, buffalo, and so forth. The only time they may eat a bit of grass is when they have a tummy ache.
Animals that eat both plant and animals?
The wild dog eats both it eats animals to keep it going and plants to make it throw up!!!!
What would happen if all of the herbivores died out?
if all animals would be herbivores then there would be more plant eating animals but plants and trees would not increase and one or the other day all herbivores also will be extinct.
Why does acid affect the growth of plants?

How do animals take up phosphorus?
Animals assimilate phosphorus by the foods that they eat. Phosphorus is in plant cells and is transferred to animals through the plants they eat, in turn carnivores obtain phosphorus from their prey that eat plants.
How long can a carnivore survive without meat?
No, but you would need an extremely specialized diet to account for all the protein the carnivore would need to stay healthy and it is not recommended to make your carnivore veagen. Improved Answer: Felines (cats) do, in fact, need meat to survive. Felines cannot produce a certain neurotransmitter needed for survival on their own, and it can only be naturally obtained from meat. Nearly all other land "carnivores," including wolves and dogs, can actually survive on an herbivorous diet though they may have trouble adapting to such.
The source of energy for most living things is?
There is the food chain sun gives energy to plants through photosynthesis, small animal eg. rabbit eats plants takes the plants energy, bigger animal eg. fox eats rabbit takes rabbits energy bigger animal eats fox this is the foxs' preditor. so the source of energy is the sun because energy is pasted up the food chain.
