Larger colonies consist mostly of sterile, wingless females forming castes of workers, soldiers, or other specialised groups. Nearly all ant colonies also have some fertile males called drones and one or more fertile females called  queens .The colonies are described as superorganisms because the ants appear to operate as a unified entity, collectively working together to support the colony.ome arthropod species spend part of their lives within ant nests, either preying on ants, their larvae, and eggs, consuming the food stores of the ants, or avoiding predators. These inquilines may bear a close resemblance to ants.
1 Vaporization: the substance changes from a liquid to a gas. 2  Sublimation: the substance changes directly from a solid to a gas without going through the liquid phase. 3  Deposition: the substance changes directly from a gas to a solid without going through the liquid phase.
In chemistry, phase refers to one of the four states that a substance can exist in; liquid, solid, gas, or plasma. A phase has uniform composition and properties. A phase change is when a substance changes from one phase to another.Freezing is when a liquid changes phase and becomes a solid. Freezing involves the loss of energy in the form of heat. At freezing, not only is there a loss of energy, but there is also an increase in the order of the particles in the substance.n chemistry, phase refers to one of the four states that a substance can exist in; liquid, solid, gas, or plasma. A phase has uniform composition and properties. A phase change is when a substance changes from one phase to another. Every change has a different name.
