Question

I. Read the following passage carefully.
of
stion
1. All ants have a varied diet. This is a strong point in the struggle for a livelihood, as it enables them to use whatever food is,
for the time, abundant and easy to find and collect. In this way a varied diet cushions them against unpredictable changes in
food supply. All our species eat some sort of prey, but they will also pick up crumbs of cake, bread, cheese or fruit that they
find lying about near picnic sites, or in parks or gardens.
2. Ants eat worms, centipedes and spiders, they also eat insect larvae, and insect adults such as flies, moths and springtails.
Such small animals do not all make easy game for ants; they are usually much quicker than the ant itself and they have an
extraordinary number of ways of escaping. Some flick their bodies violently and some others give out a pungent repellent
substance.
3. If ants, or indeed any hunting animal were too clever at catching their prey they would eventually destroy the species
completely and suffer themselves in turn. That is one reason why, in nature, it is usually the weak and disabled that are caught
and eaten. The well-formed, alert and vigorous ones can escape and survive to keep the species going. The prey avoids
destruction in this way and maintain a good breeding stock which provides a regular food supply for its predators. The
predators can even be thought of as beneficial agent that prevents overcrowding of the prey by clearing up, neatly and
effectively, all the superfluous individuals.

Answer 1

Summary

The ant world:

All ants have a varied diet. Ants eat worms, centipedes and spiders, they also eat insect larvae, and insect adults such as flies, moths and springtails. But it is hard for them to prey because some flick their bodies violently and some others give out a pungent repellent substance. The well-formed, alert and vigorous ones can escape and survive to keep the species going. The prey avoids

destruction in this way and maintain a good breeding stock for the predators. The predators works as beneficial agent that prevents overcrowding of the prey by clearing up, neatly and effectively, all the superfluous individuals.

Answer 2

Ants survive on a variety of diets.

Explanation:

• They eat different kinds of food according to the ecosystem or environment they are living in.
• Ants make great efforts in collecting food grains or crumbs of bread, cakes, and biscuits in a house or park.  
• Ants living in forests eat larvae, insects, moths, and flies.
• The main idea is ants can survive on any kind of prey they catch and they won't let it escape.
• That's why they are weak and feeble creatures to maintain the adequate supply of food between all species.
