ANS:
The vast majority of members in a termite colony are wingless, sterile, and blind workers.

They are milky white in color and possess hard-
vp vp vp vp vp vp vp vp
chewing mouth parts. Workers look after the eggs and nymphs, feed the soldiers and reprod

brown head and prominent mandibles. Soldiers defend the colony, mostly from ants. The re

productives, also called the royal caste, consist of the king and queen. vp vp vp vp vp vp vp vp vp vp vp
Their only function is to reproduce. The royal caste is dark brown in color and has function

Swarming termites are called alates or swarmers. They are winged reproductives that eventu

2. Short answer: Termites use pheromones for communication. Give several alternate

examples for the use of pheromones. vp vp vp vp vp
ANS:
Specific pheromones are used in mating, producing an alarm, keeping nymphs from forming r
vp vp vp vp vp vp vp vp vp vp vp vp vp
eproductive castes, and establishing a trail. Termites use the trail hormones when they are att
vp vp vp vp vp vp vp vp vp vp vp vp vp vp
