No, herbivores EAT plants it is plants that photosynthesise to make their food and herbivores that eat plants to steal the food the plants have made. ONLY plants can make their own food from scratch (using sunlight), all other living creatures (except some that live on chemicals heated in the earth) depend on plants for their food.
What else can I help you with?
Is photosynthesis a herbivore or a carnivore?
Neither. Herbivores and carnivores are classifications of animals based on what they eat. Photosynthesis is a process carried out by plants and algae.
Green plants are herbivores?
No green plants are not herbivores they actually olny need sunlight and water to grow.
How do you Analyze how animals benefit from the process of photosynthesis?
Animals benefit from photosynthesis primarily through the oxygen produced as a byproduct, which is essential for their respiration. Additionally, photosynthesis forms the foundation of food chains; plants convert sunlight into energy, which herbivores consume, and then carnivores feed on those herbivores. This process ensures that energy is transferred through ecosystems, supporting diverse animal life. Ultimately, photosynthesis contributes to biodiversity and the overall health of ecosystems that animals inhabit.
Is an autotroph a herbivore?
No, an autotroph is an organism that can produce its own food through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. Herbivores are organisms that consume plants for food. While some autotrophs can be consumed by herbivores, they are not the same.
How does energy enter a food chain through plants?
Plants absorb sunlight through photosynthesis, converting it into chemical energy stored in glucose molecules. This energy is then transferred to herbivores when they consume plants, and subsequently to the rest of the food chain as these herbivores are consumed by predators.
Are grass and trees herbivores?
No, they are plants. They make their food through photosynthesis. Animals who eat plants are herbivores.
Is photosynthesis a herbivore or a carnivore?
Neither. Herbivores and carnivores are classifications of animals based on what they eat. Photosynthesis is a process carried out by plants and algae.
What herbivores lives in an ocean?
phytoplankton, green sea turtle ,manatees and dugongPhytoplankton are not herbivores. They get their energy through photosynthesis. Some radiolaria and foraminifera are herbivores for they eat the algae that produce sugars by photosynthesis. And many other plankton are also herbivorous while their associates are carnivorous, omnivorous or are detritovores. Google will help in listing these microscopic herbivores. Several phyla are involved.Read more: What_herbivores_live_in_the_ocean
What is photosynthesis and what does it has to do with the food web?
Photosynthesis is when plants use sunlight to create sugars in their chloroplasts. The sugars are plants' 'food' so without photosynthesis herbivores/omnivores could not eat, and without those, carnivores coul not eat. :)
Green plants are herbivores?
No green plants are not herbivores they actually olny need sunlight and water to grow.

Is an amoeba an autotoph?
If an amoeba can create its own fuel using a process like photosynthesis, then yes. If it has to scavenge for its food, like herbivores, then it is a heterotroph.
What are the links between the energy that carnivors get from eating to the energy captured by photosynthesis?
These links are called food chains. The herbivors eat plants to get energy taped by plants during photosynthesis. The herbivors are eaten by carnivors to recycle that very energy of photosynthesis. Thus there is a link among producers (plants) and consumers (animals).
Why is the suns energy important to the survival of an organism in an ecosystem?
Sunlight is vital for the process of photosynthesis. Without photosynthesis, plants die, there is no food for herbivores, and the carbon cycle is not happening. Which means: OXYGEN IS DEPLETED! ALL ORGANISMS DIE.
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!
