?Why❓❓❓
Why do our eyelashes and eyebrows does not grow continuously?
A roughly 90% of your hair follicles are normally in the development stage at any specified point. The hair in your eyebrows just goes through a short-term length, approximately 4 months. The length of your hair is normally perfect before expected time which it has to grow
Hair follicles have staged growth cycles: one stage for growth, one stage for the lapse and one stage for rest. A roughly 90% of your hair follicles are generally in the development stage at any specified point. The hair in your eyebrows just goes through a short-term cycle length, approximately 4 months in contrast to 3 years for the hair on your head. The length of your hair is generally outdone by the time which it has to develop.
As they are prolonged, these cells die and become the hair we notice. The cells that form the hair on our eyebrows and eyelashes are basically planned to prevent developing for every couple of months, so the hair remains for short-term. Those in our scalp are planned to develop for years at the same time, so the hair grows long.

? How …….. ⁉
How do ants find their way to sweet products?
Ants, like other insects, use chemosense to detect sugar and other food. They have the ability to detect chemical substances in their environment. When these chemicals are present (even at low concentrations), they can be detected as smells by the olfactory receptors — small bristles on the insect’s body.
Many species of ants communicate with their nest-mates using chemical scents known as pheromones. Each ant leaves a trail of pheromone as it looks for food. Once they reach the food, they grab a piece and turn around, following the same trail back to the nest. On the way back, they reinforce the trail by laying down more pheromone.
