C. một loại kiến phổ biến ở nhiều nơi trên thế giới
D. rằng một số loài kiến có thể tạo ra tới một miligam pheromone
Đáp án A
Thông tin ở đoạn sau: “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 trail pheromone of the leafcutter ant Attatexana calculated that one milligram of this substance would suffice to lead a column of ants three times around Earth.” (Không giống như những lời nhắn khác, ví dụ như cái phát ra từ một con kiến chết, một dấu vết thức ăn phải được giữ bí mật với các thành viên của các loài khác. Thật không ngạc nhieen khi các loài kiến sử dụng nhiều nhiều hợp chất khác nhau làm chất khống chế dấu vết. Các con kiến có thể cực kì nhạy cảm với những kí hiệu này. Các nhà điều tra làm việc với chất chi phối dấu vết của kiến xén lá Attatexana đã ước tính rằng cứ 1 milligram chất này sẽ đủ để dẫn dắt một cột kiến gấp 3 lần vòng quanh trái đất.)

Many ants forage across the countryside in large numbers and undertake mass migrations; these activities 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 to the ground and depositing a tiny amount of trail pheromone – a mixture of chemicals that delivers diverse messages 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 trail pheromone of the leafcutter ant Atta Texana 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 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 in the vapor space. The signal it receives causes it to swing to the left, and the ant then pursues this new course until its right antenna reaches the vapor space. It then swings back to the right, and so weaves back and forth down the trail.
