Answer #1

Answer- The ants are smaller in size and hence had higher metabic rate so their scaling relationship is lower than 2/3 model. This allomatry that the decrease jn body mass increase the metabolic rate but if the mass of colony increase the metabolic rate will get decreased just as the above scaling relationship.
