Herbivores

In the food chain the herbivores are a big part of the way of life. the Producers give energy to the herbivores and the herbivores give energy to the Carnivores. With out the herbivores there wouldnt be any carnivores because the herbivores wouldnt be able to pass on energy. If there was no herbivores then there would be a over population in producers because there wouldnt be any herbivores to eat the producers.
