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.

Lerok [7]
It is (D) Carbon dioxide.
in lactic acid=C6H12O6 to produce 2C3H6O3+Energy.
in alcoholic fermentation=C6H12O6 to produce 2C2H5OH+2CO2.
therefore all of them produce (D) Carbon dioxide.

During aerobic cellular respiration, what combines with hydrogen ions and the product is released as a by-product of respiration
Rufina [12.5K]
 The correct answer is C, Oxygen.
During aerobic cellular respiration, oxygen combines with hydrogen ions and water is released as a by-product of respiration. 

Explanation; 
Cellular respiration allows organisms to release energy stored in chemical bonds of glucose, and other nutrients. The energy in glucose or other nutrients such as fats is used to produce ATP, which cells use to supply their energy needs. During aerobic respiration (in presence of oxygen), oxygen is reduced and water is produced together with carbon dioxide as by-products.
