Explain why leaf-cutter ants gather pieces of leaves and store them in their nests when they do not eat leaves.

Sample response: Leaf-cutter ants gather pieces of leaves and store them in their nests to provide raw materials and food for the fungus that grows on the leaf pieces. The ants feed on the fungus, so by collecting leaves the ants are effectively able to grow their own food supply.

Explanation:

the density of gold = 19.3 g/cm3

the relation between density and mass and volume is

density = mass / volume

given :

mass of gold = 13 g

density = 13g / volume = 19.3

volume = 13 /19.3 = 0.67 cm^3

thus volume of gold nugget = 0.67 cm^3
