    • Ants don't have ears

    • Ants have spleen

    Correct Answer

    How many stomachs do ants have? - ProProfs

    How many stomachs do ants have?

    • 1

    • 4

    • 3

    • 2

    Correct Answer
    A. 2
    Explanation
    Ants have two stomachs. One stomach is used for storing food and the other is used for digestion. The food is initially stored in the first stomach, known as the crop, where it is softened and partially digested. The ant can then regurgitate this partially digested food and share it with other ants in the colony. The second stomach, known as the gizzard, is responsible for further digestion of the food before it enters the intestines. Having two stomachs allows ants to efficiently process and distribute food within the colony.

Ants are found in various habitats and play important roles in ecosystems as scavengers, predators, and seed dispersers. The high number of known species reflects the extensive research and discovery efforts by scientists in studying ants and their classification.

    Their strength falls in between one of the following

    • 10-50 times their size

    • 10-20 times their size

    • 5-50 times their size

    • 19-35 times their size

    Correct Answer
    A. 10-50 times their size
    Explanation
    The strength of the subject falls within a range that is 10 to 50 times their size. This means that their strength is significantly greater than their physical size, indicating that they possess a high level of power and capability relative to their body size.

    How old are ants? - ProProfs

    How old are ants?

    • 90 million years ago

    • 45 millions years ago

    • 130 million years ago

    • 120 billion years ago

    Correct Answer
    A. 130 million years ago
    Explanation
    Ants are believed to have evolved around 130 million years ago, during the early Cretaceous period. This estimate is based on fossil evidence and the study of ant evolution through paleontology. Options A and B are not as accurate, and option D (120 billion years ago) is not scientifically plausible, as it far exceeds the age of the Earth itself.

    How long do ants live for? - ProProfs

    How long do ants live for?

    • For 3 months

    • Up to 30 years

    • About 10 years

    • Only about 5 weeks

    Correct Answer
    A. Up to 30 years
    Explanation
    Ants have a wide range of lifespans depending on their species. While some ants may only live for a few weeks, others can live up to 30 years. This variation in lifespan is due to factors such as the species' reproductive capabilities, environmental conditions, and the presence of predators. Therefore, it is possible for ants to live for up to 30 years.

    How many hours can ants survive for underwater? - ProProfs

    How many hours can ants survive for underwater?

    • About 24 hours

    • Around 10 hours

    • Somewhere around 5 hours

    • Maybe 15 minutes

    Correct Answer
    A. About 24 hours
    Explanation
    Ants can survive underwater for about 24 hours. This is because ants have the ability to close their spiracles, which are the openings in their exoskeleton that they use to breathe. By closing these openings, ants can prevent water from entering their respiratory system and suffocating them. Additionally, ants have a high tolerance for low oxygen levels, allowing them to survive for an extended period of time underwater. However, it is important to note that prolonged submersion can still be harmful to ants and may lead to their eventual death.
