Answer:

The structure that is in physical contact with the auditory receptor stereocilia is the tectorial membrane.

Explanation:

The tectorial membrane is a structure or a thin layer of tissue that is floating in the endolymph on the stereocilia of the ciliated cells. Ciliated cells, which are sensory cells attached to the surface of the basilar membrane.

When the ciliated cells move up and down, microscopic projections similar to sows (known as stereocilia), which are located above the ciliated cells, cause the cilia to lean towards the side wall of the cochlea. This inclination makes that some channels that look like pores open, which are at the tips of the stereocilia. When this happens, certain chemicals enter the cells, thus generating an electrical signal. The inner ciliated cell is activated, probably by a direct contact of its stereocilia with the Hensen band of the tectorial membrane, the synapse between the ciliated cell and the auditory nerve fibers, send a message to the brain, which converts it into sounds that we can recognize and understand.

Compare and contrast aerobic respiration with photosynthesis in
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Aerobic respiration;this is the process of breaking down of glucose  <u>with Oxygen</u> to generate energy  as ATPs in living cells

Location- Matrix  and inner membranes of mitochondria

Energy source_oxidative phosphorylation of glucose

Waste product-water( oxygen accept the final electron to form water)

.

38 ATPs from 1 glucose molecule

Explanation:

Photosynthesis; this is the process of reducing C02 with hydrogen ion, from water  i<u>n the presence of  sunlight , enzymes and green pigment chlorophyll</u> to form <u>glucose</u>

Location- stroma and thylakoid membranes of chloroplast

Energy source-photo-phosphorylation(sunlight)

Waste product-Oxygen

18ATPs
