The quickest way for an ant to go from the ground to the tree trunk is by walking straight towards the tree and climbing the tree trunk. Ant will walk straight if it is guided by the pheromone trail left behind by the other ants.
The ant first decides to explore the area for food and threats before taking a decision to walk away from its current location, i.e, the ground. The ant then starts to climb the bark of the tree to reach a higher ground. It does so by leaving a pheromone trail behind. This pheromone trail helps in guiding the other ants towards a possible food source.
Question 4
Which of the following would be considered a form of active transport?
o the movement of oxygen molecules from high concentration in the blood to low concentration in the cell.
O the movement of carbon dioxide from high concentrations in the cell to low concentrations in the blood.
o the movement of glucose into the cell down its concentration gradient,
o the movement of sodium atoms from low concentration in the cell to higher concentrations outside the cell.
neutralisation is the process of converting an acid or a base into the pH value 7.The 2 things produced r hydrogen gas and a salt.
acid+base=salt+hydrogen gas.This often occured in your stomach. when you have gastroble you are eating tablets which are base and a reation take place with hydrocloric acid in it
hope it helps

<h2>
Answer:</h2>
I believe the correct answer is D. React to stimuli from outside the body.
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
Hormones are types of proteins that produce responses hand in hand with neurons but they are much slower and longer lasting. They can act on the same cells and in that instance they will be called autocrine hormones. Those that act on neighbouring cells are called paracrine hormones while those that act on far away cells are called endocrine hormones.
<h2>Further Explanation:</h2><h3>a. Initiate behavior and reproduction:</h3>
This is a function of hormone(s). Hormones such as testosterone can initiate both behavior of an organism and also stimulate reproduction. Testosterone causes maturation of sex features and sperms in males to initiate reproduction. Other hormones with such functions include: Estrogen and adrenaline.
<h3>b. Coordinate the production and use of energy:</h3>
Some hormones conduct this function by regulation metabolism in the body. These include: Insulin in intake of glucose for energy and glucagon in maintaining blood glucose levels. Corticosterone also responds in stress to maintain energy.
<h3>c. Maintain nutrition and metabolism:</h3>
Nutrition can be maintained by hormones such as ghrelin that stimulates appetite, insulin in intake of glucose, leptin and glucagon.
<h3>d. React to stimuli from outside the body</h3>
This is not a function of a hormone but rather the function of a neuron. Neurons have specific structures called denrites that recieve signals/stimuli from outside the body then convert them to nerve impulses that are transmitted to the brain which produces another impulse to be taken to a specific site to produce a desired response.
