Answer Details
(a)(i) habitats of specimens of D and E
D: Termatarium/anthill/old logs of trees/mounds dead tree stumps
E: nest/hive
(ii) observable structural differences between specimens D and E
| D/soldier termite | E/honeybee |
| presence of prominent/large/mandible | presence of poorly developed/less prominent mandible |
| stingvabsent | sting present |
| pollen comb | wing present |
| wing absent | presence of pollen basket |
| absence of prong | presence of prong |
| absence of proboscis | presence of proboscis |
| body not hairy[smooth] | body is hairy |
| absence of eye blind | presence of [two/pair/of] compound eyes |
| big in size /big head | small in size /small head |
[iii] (iii) Behavioural adaptation common1o specimens D and E
Social insects/nuptial flight/swarming
(b) Economic importance of specimen E

b. Production of beeswax/wax
c. Pollinating agent d. Employment
e. Their stings lead to allergies/anaphylactic shock/difficulty in breathing/rashes/skin irritations
f. Their stings could lead to death.
{c} Table
| Types of teeth | one function of teeth |
| incisor | cutting of vegetation/nibbling/gnawing/biting. |
| premolar | grinding/chewing |
| molar | grinding/chewing |
d[i] mode of feeding specimens G herbivorous
ii ways by which specimen G adapts its organism to its mode of feeding
a. sharp/chisel shaped/curved incisors for cutting vegetation/leaves /food/gnawing/bibbling/bitting
b. broad/ridged surface of premolar ; for grinding /chewing
Presence of diastema/space between incisor
grinding/chewing and premolar, allows the rolling of food into bolus/its separates.freshly cut food/grass from the one being chewed.
