<u><em>Answer:</em></u> The human ear has three parts. The outer ear collects sound waves, the middle ear amplifies these waves, and the inner ear converts them to nerve signals.

Sound waves enter the external ear and are funneled toward the tympanic membrane by the shape of the outer ear.Variation in air pressure due to sound waves causes the tympanic membrane to vibrate. The wave frequency will determine the vibration rate.Tympanic vibrations cause the malleus to move. Because the three ossicles are connected, this vibration is transduced to the stapes via the incus.Movement of the stapes vibrates the oval window. Significant amplification of sound waves occurs due to the small size of the window.Pressure changes transduced through the oval window vibrate the perilymph in the scala vestibuli which are transmitted across the vestibular membrane to the endolymph of the cochlear duct, and also up the scala vestibuli and down the scala tympani much the way <span>waves move through the ocean.</span>

They test whether a species is occupying its complete fundamental niche or only a portion of it by observing if the species are expanding their range after the removal of a competitor because two species with the same fundamental niche will exclude other competing species.

In a study on the biological bases of learning, lab rat a is given a drug that blocks dopamine activity in its brain. thereafter
Anvisha [2.4K]
We should expect that the rat will have have more difficulty in learning the task compared to a normal rat. This is because the rat has been injected with a certain drug that oppresses the dopamine activity. And then the rat is placed in an operant chamber where a lever-pressing task is shaped through positive reinforcement.
