Question

summarise why there are more herbivores than carnivores .​

Answer 1

• When a herbivore eats, only a fraction of the energy becomes new body mass; the rest of the energy is lost as waste or used up by the herbivore itself to carry out its own life processes. Therefore, a carnivore has to eat many herbivores to get sufficient energy to survive and grow.

Answer 2

Answer:

as the food chain works the number of herbivores animals are eaten by carnivores

Explanation:

grass→cow→lion.

therefore we see that if there would be fewer herbivores animals there would be a problem in the food chain
