Many ants forage across the countryside in large numbers and undertake mass migrations; these activitiesproceed because one ant lays a trail on the ground for the others to follow As a worker ant returns home
after finding a source of food, it marks the route by intermittently touching its stinger on the ground and
depositing a tiny amount of trail pheromone - a mixture of chemicals that delivers diverse messages asthe context changes These trails incorporate no directional information and may be followed by otherants in either direction
Unlike some other messages, such as the one arising from a dead ant, a food trail has to be kept secret
from members of other species It is not surprising then that ant species use a wide variety of compounds
as trail pheromones Ants can be extremely sensitive to these signals Investigators working with the trailpheromone of the leafcutter ant Attatexana calculated that one milligram of this substance would suffice
to lead a column of ants three times around Earth
Trang 4The vapor of the evaporating pheromone over the trail guides an ant along the way, and the ant detects
this signal with receptors in its antennae A trail pheromone will evaporate to furnish the highest
concentration of vapor right over the trail, in what is called a vapor space In following the trail, the ant
moves to the right and left, oscillating from side to side across the line of the trail itself, bringing first one
and then the other antenna into the vapor space As the ant moves to the right, its left antenna arrives inthe vapor space The signal it receives causes it to swing to the left, and the ant then pursues this newcourse until its right antenna reaches the vapor space It then swings back to the right, and so weaves backand forth down the trail

A incorrectly B rapidly C periodically D roughly
Câu 48: The phrase "the one" refers to a single .
Câu 49: According to the passage, why do ants use different compounds as trail pheromones?
A To protect their trail from other species B To reduce their sensitivity to some chemicals.
C To attract different types of ants D To indicate how far away the food is.
Câu 50: The author mentions the trail pheromone of the leafcutter ant in the second paragraph to point

A how little pheromone is needed to mark a trail
B the different types of pheromones ants can produce
C that certain ants can produce up to one milligram of pheromone

Many ants forage across the countryside in large numbers and undertake mass migrations; theseactivities proceed because one ant lays a trail on the ground for the others to follow As a worker ant
returns home after finding a source of food, it marks the route by intermittently touching its stinger on
the ground and depositing a tiny amount of trail pheromone - a mixture of chemicals that delivers diversemessages as the context changes These trails incorporate no directional information and may be followed
by other ants in either direction
Unlike some other messages, such as the one arising from a dead ant, a food trail has to be kept secret
from members of other species It is not surprising then that ant species use a wide variety of compounds
as trail pheromones Ants can be extremely sensitive to these signals Investigators working with the trailpheromone of the leafcutter ant Attatexana calculated that one milligram of this substance would suffice
to lead a column of ants three times around Earth
The vapor of the evaporating pheromone over the trail guides an ant along the way, and the ant detects
this signal with receptors in its antennae A trail pheromone will evaporate to furnish the highest
concentration of vapor right over the trail, in what is called a vapor space In following the trail, the antmoves to the right and left, oscillating from side to side across the line of the trail itself, bringing first one
Trang 16and then the other antenna into the vapor space As the ant moves to the right, its left antenna arrives inthe vapor space The signal it receives causes it to swing to the left, and the ant then pursues this newcourse until its right antenna reaches the vapor space It then swings back to the right, and so weaves backand forth down the trail.
