kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The flowchart that identifies an animal as herbivore or carnivore is attached as an image and discussed as follows:

Explanation:

Suppose we have two animals an elephant and a lion, now the flow chart for the elephant would be as follows:

start -- Read the name of the animal (elephant) -- Does it eat only plants?---Yes--Print Herbivore-- end

Now, the flowchart for the lion would be as follows:

start -- Read the name of the animal (lion)--Does it eat only plants?---No---Print Carnivore-- end

Thus, these are two examples given above to make a flowchart to find and classify an animal as herbivore or carnivore.
