1.	Observe ants going on a line. Ask your teacher how they communicate and write a note on this.
Answer» Ants talk to each other using chemical signals called pheromones that they detect with antennae. Ants use their antennas to pick up smells. For example, when ants find food they have a pheromone trail from the food soure to the colony. Other ants follow this trial. As the other ants follow the trial, the pheromone scent becomes stronger. The paired antennas of ants provide information about the direction and intensity of scents. Since most ants live on the ground, they use the soil surface to leave pheromene trail that may be followed by other ants. Some ants produce sounds using gaster segments and their mandibles. Sounds may be used to communicate with colony members or with other species.
