Outer hair cells change their axial dimensions in response to electrical stimulation.

What is basilar membrane motion?

Hair cell stereocilia move as a result of the basilar membrane's movement. The tectorial membrane and the hair cells, which are connected to the basilar membrane, move along with it when it moves, and the stereocilia bend in response to the relative motion of the tectorial membrane.

The hair cells that are linked to the auditory nerve fibers are stimulated by the basilar membrane's movement. While the outside hair cells actively affect the basilar membrane's vibrations, the inner hair cells convert hydromechanical vibration into action potentials.

With each sound cycle, the intracellular voltage of the outer hair cells varies, causing them to lengthen and contract. This increases the organ of Corti's vibration, enabling exceptionally high hearing sensitivity and frequency selectivity.

What considerations do you need to make to ensure that your solution uses food that is most efficient for cellular respiration?
Slav-nsk [51]

For cellular respiration, the solution needs to be provided with glucose and optimum oxygen supply.

Explanation:

The cellular respiration uses the simplest form of food i.e. is glucose in its first step of glycolysis so, the food source must be in simpler form in the solution. Also, cellular respiration takes place in the presence of oxygen so optimum level of oxygen is to be supplied also temperature plays a key role so it also needs to be maintained.
