Check all that are true regarding the anatomy and physiology of the sense of equilibrium. Check All That Apply Otoliths are smal
l calcium carbonate crystals that are embedded within a gelatinous layer. Otoliths are small calcium carbonate crystals that are embedded within a gelatinous layer. Otoliths and the gelatinous layer form the otolithic membrane. Otoliths and the gelatinous layer form the otolithic membrane. When the head is held erect, the otolithic membrane applies pressure directly on the hair cells. When the head is held erect, the otolithic membrane applies pressure directly on the hair cells. When the head is tilted, the hair cells remain erect, but there is a change in neurotransmitter release.

The answers that apply are;
Otoliths and the gelatinous layer form the otolithic membrane.
When the head is held erect, the otolithic membrane applies pressure directly on the hair cells.
Otoliths are found in the vestibular system of the inner ear - in the utricular maculae. When a person is upstanding, the hairs in the otolithic membrane are erect. However, when a person bends, the otolithic membrane causes the hairs to bend stimulating the auditory nerves.

We know, only 10% of energy transferred from each trophic level. Plant can capture 1% energy from the sun. According 10% law only 10% energy transfer to next level. Thus if plant has 1%- trophic level 2 will have 0.1%; then third trophic level will have 0.01% and we human if we are on fourth level then we will have 0.001%.
Thus correct answer is 0.001%.
