51.	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.

52.	Look at this picture. How do you feel about sibbiling care nature of animals. Have you ever seen such kind of situations in your surroundings? Explain in your own words.
Answer» Sibbiling care nature of animals are animals with instinct behaviour. Every animal take care of their young ones until they are grown adults. I observed sibbiling care situations in my surroundings. The newly hatched chickens are taken by their mother to surrounding places to feed them. Whenever the chicks faces danger mother brings them under her wings. When the eagle tries to take away the chicks the mother attacks the eagle to save its chickens. Chicken feeds and protect young ones until they are able to collect their own food. A new born kitten is born blind. Its eyes normally do not open until it is 10 to 12 days. Finding the milk source is accomplished with help from mom, who encourages young kittens to feed a few minutes after birth. Cat often changes its living place by transfering young kitten. It does so to protect kittens from enemies.

54.	“Understanding of animal behaviour creates positive attitude towards animals”. How do you support this statement? Explain with suitable examples.
Answer» I support the above statement that understanding of animal behaviour creates positive attitude towards animals. Animals usually make sounds depending upon their needs. They show different facial expressions. For example, cattle make sounds whenever they need food and water. After giving food and water by the master they calmdown. When a crow dies, all the other crows come around making sounds ‘kaww, kaww’ shows their sadness, we have to understand nature of the crows in this situation. We have to identify the unity and integrity among the ants when they go in line in search of food. When dogs bark during nights, we should understand that they are doing that for our safe. We have to show positive attitude towards animals who are useful in our daily life. Live and let live should be our motto.
