Ants use energy and nutrients primarily from the food they consume, which includes sugars, proteins, and fats. They gather food, often in the form of nectar, seeds, or other insects, and transport it back to their colony. Nutrients are then shared through a process called trophallaxis, where ants exchange food and chemicals to feed other colony members, including the queen and larvae. This communal approach ensures efficient energy use and nutrient distribution within the colony.
