Answer #1

C. elegans is a nematode which used its olfactory sense organ for their social behaviour and pathogens avoidance.

A behavioural study shows that the concentration--dependent behaviour of c. elegans.

C. elegans display avoidance behaviour to co2 and many volatile orders, including long chain alcohol and ketones.

So vinegar ( acetic acid) is volatile organic compounds and glucose is non volatile. So, C. elegans is attracted towards glucose and repelled with vinegar.
