Are there more herbivores or carnivores in the Serengeti?

Should be herbivores since carnivores are higher in the food chain.


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


Are herbivores found in a food chain?

Yes, at the bottom. They eat plants (at the very bottom) and are eaten by carnivores.


Why aren there more herbivores than carnivores in a food chain?

It is the way nature plays out. The carnivores eat the herbivores, so it is impossible to have more carnivores then herbivores. If there are too few herbivores around, the carnivores begin to starve, so for that reason there will always be more herbivores then carnivores. Most carnivores protect there territories from other carnivores, killing them if necessary, because they instinctively know an area can only support so many carnivores based on food supply -- which for them are herbivores. Also many carnivores are capable of practicing birth control to some degree to keep their numbers appropriate for the number of herbivores that can sustain them.


Could carnivores live if all plants became extinctWhy or Why not?

The survival of carnivores would be highly challenging if all plants became extinct. Without plants, there would be no primary producers, disrupting the entire food chain. Carnivores rely on herbivores as their prey, and without herbivores, carnivores would have limited food resources, leading to a reduced population and potential extinction.

Why are photosynthesizers the foundation for all food chains food webs and food pyramids?

Producers ,or photosynthesizers as you call them ,are the foundation for food webs and food chains ,because herbivores eat plants (producers) and carnivores eat herbivores and sometimes other carnivores. Withoutthe plants ,the herbivores would have no food. Without the herbivores ,the carnivores would have no food ,and the chain or web would be damaged. This is my theory ,did it help you?
