Ant colonies are Eusocial which means living in a cooperative group in which usually one female and several males are reproductively active and the non-breeding individuals care for the young and protect the group. These are very much like those found in other social animals though the various groups of these developed sociality independently through convergent evolution.
Interdependence between two species through which individuals of either one or both species benefit is called positive interdependence. The benefits to the individual of any species through this relationship may be continuous or transitory, obligate or facultative. Both partners in this type of relationship may be in close contact; one may be inside some specific area or attached to the surface of the other’s body. Positive interdependence is divided into three major types: mutualism, Commensalism, and proto-cooperation.
Species can be classified in many different ways. One species classification system may categorise species into Typological, evolutionary, and phylogenetic species.

As biomass is created due to photosynthesis by plants, so energy from biomass or bio wastes is regarded as another form of solar energy.
The unit of biosphere having all the components producers, consumers and decomposers and the abiotic components together with physical factors in dynamic relationships is called as ecosystem.

Human activities have never been friendly to environment. The remains of Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa signify that the civilization ended due to desertification which might had been caused by large scale deforestation. Still today impacts of such human activities have started appearing. Hence it is essential that we manage our natural resources properly.
