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.
What is a conervore?

Do omnivores have teeth like carnivores or flat teeth explain?
Omnivores typically have a combination of sharp teeth for tearing meat and flat teeth for grinding plants. Carnivores have sharp teeth for slicing meat, while herbivores have flat teeth for grinding plants. Omnivores' teeth structure allows them to consume a varied diet of both meat and plants.
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.
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?

What is a food chain in the temperate forest?
In a temperate forest food chain, the process involves producers like plants converting sunlight into energy through photosynthesis. Herbivores feed on the plants, while carnivores then consume the herbivores. Decomposers like fungi and bacteria break down dead organic matter, returning nutrients to the soil to be taken up by plants, completing the cycle.
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.
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.
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.
What is the role of a consumer in a food web?
Consumers are every organism that eats something else. They include herbivores (animals that eat plants), carnivores (animals that eat other animals), parasites (animals that live off of other organisms by harming it), and scavengers (animals that eat dead animal carcasses). Primary consumers are the herbivores, and are the second largest biomass in an ecosystem. The animals that eat the herbivores (carnivores) make up the third largest biomass, and are also known as secondary consumers.
