Chemical Communications

Chemical communication refers to the way living organisms send and receive messages using chemicals. This occurs through the release of substances called pheromones or hormones, which can trigger responses in others of the same species or signal to different organisms. For example, ants use pheromones to lead others to food, while plants may release chemicals to warn nearby plants of pests. This form of communication is vital for survival, reproduction, and social behavior in many species, enabling them to interact effectively with their environment and each other.
