Answers

carnivores: they eat only flesh of other animals
omnivores: they eat both plants and animals
Answer:
HERBIVORE
Animals that only eat plant.
A herbivore is an animal that gets its energy from eating plants, and only plants. Omnivores can also eat parts of plants, but generally only the fruits and vegetables produced by fruit-bearing plants. Many herbivores have special digestive systems that let them digest all kinds of plants, including grasses.
CARNIVORE
These are animals that eat only other animals. A carnivore is an organism that derives its energy and nutrient requirements from a diet consisting mainly or exclusively of animal tissue, whether through predation orscavenging. Animals that depend solely on animal flesh for their nutrient requirements are considered obligate carnivores while those that also consume non-animal food are considered facultative carnivores.
OMNIVORES
These are animals that eat both plants and other animals. An omnivore, meaning 'all-eater' or polyphage species is a consumerof a variety of material as significant food sources in their natural diet. These foods may include plants, animals, algae and fungi.
INSECTIVORE
Insectivorous creatures eat insects. An insectivore is a carnivore that eats insects. An alternative term is entomophage, which also refers to the human practice of eating insects.
