The ghost ant is highly adaptable in its nesting habits. It nests readily outdoors or indoors. Colonies may be moderate to large in size containing numerous reproducing females (polygyny). Generally, the colonies occupy local sites that are too small or unstable to support entire large colonies.
A macron (/ËmÃ¦krÉn, ËmeÉª-/) is a diacritical mark, a straight bar (Â¯) placed above a letter, usually a vowel. Its name derives from the Greek Î¼Î±ÎºÏÏÎ½ (makrÃ³n), meaning long, and was originally used to mark long or heavy syllables in Greco-Roman metrics. It now more often marks a long vowel. In the International Phonetic Alphabet, the macron is used to indicate a mid-tone; the sign for a long vowel is instead a modified triangular colon â¨Ëâ©. The opposite is the breve â¨Ëâ©, which marks a short or light syllable or a short vowel.
Rennet /ËrÉnÉ¨t/ is a complex of enzymes produced in the stomachs of ruminant mammals. Rennet is used in the production of most cheeses. Chymosin, its key component, is a protease enzyme that curdles the casein in milk. This helps young mammals digest their mothers' milk.ennet can also be used to separate milk into solid curds for cheese making and liquid whey. In addition to chymosin, rennet contains other important enzymes such as pepsin and a lipase. The mammal must be killed to obtain its rennet. Non-animal alternatives for rennet are suitable for consumption by vegetarians.
