In Africa, whistling thorn trees, also known as Acacia trees, often provide a home and food for different specialized ants. The ants feed on the rich nectar that is at the bottom of the leaves. When large herbivores - such as giraffes, antelopes, or elephants – begin to feed on the trees, the ants aggressively swarm out and bite. Which explanation below BEST describes this relationship

answer: the correct option is d. enzyme

lactase and carbonic anhydrase are the examples of enzymes.

lactase is an enzyme, which is present in the small intestine of mammals. it in the digestion of the disaccharide, lactose ( milk sugar) by converting it into two monosachharide, which are glucose and galactose.

carbonic anhydrase is present in the red blood cells. this enzyme plays significant role in the transport of co₂. it in the conversion of co₂ and h₂o into carbonic acid, which is then dissociated into bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions.
