The given statement is True.

Visual Receptors: Rods and cones are the two types of cells present in the retal part of eye which works as a visual receptors which establishes a synaptic network involving neurons which connects the receptors to brain and help us in visualizing. However loss of neurons in the retina because of any kind of physical or biological damage permanently cuts the connection of receptors with brain and it cannot be replaced naturally.

Hearing receptors: Inside the ears there is a small structure known as cochlea which contains the organ of corti which further contains the hair cells [sensory cells] working as hearing receptors but research till date concludes that mammalian cochlear hair cells do not regenerate, either spontaneously or after damage.

Taste receptors: The small little bumbs present of our tongue are known as papillae whioch functions as taste receptors as they contain taste buds. Scientifically there taste buds die off and regenerate every few weeks.

Olfactory receptors: These receptors keep on replacing due to continuous differentiation of basal cells which develop and are capable of restablishing the connection with Central nervous system.

What is the TECTONIC CYCLE? Briefly summarize it.
igomit [66]
<span>In simple terms, heavier plates get melted in Mantle, become lighter in form of lava and create new plates. As we have a re-cycle or the convection currents, there are cycles in lithosphere.
There is continuous push and pull happening on and below the Earth. When a plate is subducting on one end, there has to be some reaction on the other end, right?
Ridge is developed on the other side, where the same material which has been melted on the subduction side helps to fill the gap at ridge side. Since the material is just transfered from heavy to light, and reused in that cell, it is called a cycle.

The water repellant properties of waxes is very useful in the leaves of some plants, in the feathers of birds and also in cuticle of insects. Waxes in plant leaves reduce the amount of water that is lost by the leaves. The wax that is present in the birds' feather prevent them from getting wet with water.
