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.
Ants use their mandibles, legs, and bodies to move dirt. They can use their mandibles to grab and carry small particles of soil, their legs to push and compact the dirt, and their bodies to create tunnels and chambers within the soil.

Army ants have very powerful jaws that they use when they are invading. In a group they can overrun large prey just by biting their way through. They definitely bite!
Ants are able to carry heavy loads because they have strong muscles relative to their body size, allowing them to lift objects many times their weight. Additionally, they use teamwork and coordination to share the weight of the load among multiple ants, making it easier to transport. Ants also have specialized body structures, such as strong jaws and legs, that aid in carrying heavy objects.
Ants use their antennae to sense their environment. They can detect chemical trails left by other ants, communicate with each other through pheromones, and navigate their surroundings by detecting obstacles and food sources.
Ants employ their jaws (mandibles) mostly for carrying food back to the nest and in it's defense .

Interestingly enough the Incas used the jaws of ants as stitches.

to eat you scients have talk to ants and they say that when they eat you they say YUMM YOU WERE VERY VERY VERY GOOD :)
Ants use their second set of jaws, known as mandibles, primarily for grasping, carrying, and manipulating objects. These mandibles are essential for tasks such as cutting food, constructing nests, and defending the colony. Additionally, they play a crucial role in feeding behaviors, allowing ants to transport food back to their nest or feed larvae and other colony members.
The main weapons of all the army ants are their jaws, especially the very large jaws of the major soldiers. There are several subfamilies of army ants, and some of subfamilies have stings as well. Some of the African army ants do not have stings and others do. The American army ants (Eciton) all have stings.
All the way in the front. On the head section.
Army ants possess incredibly strong jaws, which can be about 1 to 2 centimeters long, depending on the species. These jaws, or mandibles, are adapted for gripping and cutting through prey and are a key feature in their hunting and foraging behavior. Their powerful jaws allow them to work collaboratively in large groups to take down larger prey.
