How can you tell the difference between a herbivore carnivore and an omnivore by its physical appearance?

That is a very simple question. If you look at a Huayangosaurus fossil you'll know. Lets say you have Huayangosaurus fossil and you want to know if it was a herbivore or carnivore. Look at the head. Cheek teeth is the sign of a herbivorous dinosaur. Huayangosaurus didn't have cheek teeth however. You can also look for a beak. Beaks were used to snip plant material apart. Is there a beak? Yep! Checkmate! Check the legs. If a dinosaur walked on four legs it cannot be a carnivore. Checkmate! Carnivorous dinosaurs were bipedal so they could run after prey. But some herbivorous dinosaurs ran on two legs as well. Check the stomach of this dinosaur. If there are round rocks this is also a sign of a herbivore. You may also see plant fossils or skeletons. Round rocks called Gastroliths were swallowed to crush plant material. They became rounder and shinier from the digestive juices in the stomach. Sometimes you can see a fossil of the animal's last meal. You may see a skeleton or plant material. Is there some plant material or Gastroliths? Yep! Checkmate! Sometimes Gastroliths or the animal's last meal won't be fossilised however. This is how you can tell if certain dinosaurs were carnivorous or herbivorous.

Herbivores primarily feed on plants and have specialized digestive systems to break down plant material. Omnivores have a diet that includes both plants and animals, and they have a more flexible digestive system that allows them to digest a variety of foods. Herbivores often have specialized teeth for grinding plant material, while omnivores may have a mix of teeth for tearing, grinding, and crushing different types of food.

What percerntage of the energy from the producer level is available to the herbivores?

0.1%

...because each level only gets 10% of the energy of the previous level (due to the second law of thermodynamics).

This is also part of the reason food chains are limited to 3-5 trophic levels.
