Visual and hearing receptors are irreplaceable, but the taste and olfactory receptors are continuously renewed True False

8090 [49]2 years ago
8 0

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.

Which microscope is used to observe a specimen that emits light when illuminated with an ultraviolet light?
jonny [76]

Answer: Fluorescence microscope

Explanation:

The basic function of a fluorescence microscope is to irradiate the specimen with a desired and specific band of wavelengths. A fluorescence microscope uses a mercury or xenon lamp to produce ultraviolet light. The light comes into the microscope and hits a dichroic mirror. The dichroic mirror reflects the ultraviolet light up to the specimen. The ultraviolet light excites fluorescence within molecules in the specimen. The objective lens collects the fluorescent-wavelength light produced. This fluorescent light passes through the dichroic mirror and a barrier filter, making it to the eyepiece to form the image.

The plants in this ecosystem are dark in color to absorb sunlight, covered in hair and grow in clumps. What type of ecosystem co
Rufina [12.5K]

Darker colors absorb and retain warmth than warm tones. As a result, plants in the tundra have dark-colored leaves, hairy and clumped and stems to help them absorb solar heat faster and stay warm for longer periods of time. So it could be tundra ecosystem according to the given scenario.

<h3 /><h3>What is tundra ecosystem?</h3>
