Ants dont smell in the conventional sense of the word. Their antennae are chemical receptors that can detect changes in their surroundings from pheromones that other ants excrete.

If there is something interesting at the end of the trail it is used more often so the trail has more aroma so more ants follow it. this follows the runaway principle where one route is embraced and other less well used routes are forgotten about in time. However it the trail is lost ants will often start following others near them. This can often lead to circles of ants following each other getting smaller and smaller until they all starve to death.

How are ants jaws different than human jaws?

They are like human jaws in that they are used for biting.

They differ in practically every other way. Ants (like other typical insects) have four jaws each (two mandibles, two maxillae); the jaws are not made of bone inside and flesh outside, but flesh inside and the hard part (a sort of concrete of sclerotin and chitin) outside.

Ant jaws don't have separate teeth, but have serrations (saw-like pointy bits).

Their jaws work from side to side instead of up and down.

Their jaws are smaller in absolute terms because ants are smaller than humans, but usually larger in relative terms (a human with jaws like a bulldog ant would look like a crocodile).

It is not easy to think of ways in which they are alike.
