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 component of the blood does Warfarin affect
maksim [4K]
Anticoagulants such as heparin or warfarin (also called Coumadin) slow down your body's process of making clots. Antiplatelet drugs, such as aspirin, prevent blood cells called platelets from clumping together to form a clot. When you take a blood thinner, follow directions carefully.

In the cell, energy that drives endergonic reactions is often obtained from
IRISSAK [1]

Answer: B) energy released from exergonic reactions.  

Explanation:

Cell metabolism is the set of reactions that occur in the cellular environment to synthesize or degrade biomolecules to produce energy. Synthesis metabolism of biomolecules is known as anabolic (anabolism) and catabolic degradation (catabolism).

Endergonic reaction (product has more energy than reagents) and requires energy to occur. Anabolism occurs when the cell has sufficient energy or substrate. Catabolism, in turn, occurs in situations in which the body needs energy, such as between meals and fasting.

The reactions of anabolism and catabolism are opposite but occur in an articulated manner, allowing the maximization of available energy. Thus, while catabolism occurs spontaneously, an exergonic reaction with ATP production, anabolism is non-spontaneous, or endergonic, requiring energy to occur. In other words energy that drives endergonic reactions is often obtained from B) energy released from exergonic reactions.
