The transduction of sound waves into action potentials occurs ________.

Biology

Answer:

A. when hair cells are bent against the tectorial membrane, causing them to depolarize and release neurotransmitter that stimulates sensory neurons.

Explanation:

This is the mechanism of propagation and transmission of sound waves as action potential to from the ear to auditory centres in the brain. This mechanism takes place in the inner ear( organ of corti, supported by basilar membrane.There are  group of receptors in the  Endolymph, whicha are hair cells supported by the tectorial membrane,.The organ of Corti acts as transducers  in  the   inner ear and  converts the circular fluid motion to  electrical signals as action potential, when the hair cells bends against the tectorial membrane as a results of vibration of the endolymph The causes depolarization, and therefore action potential.

The potential is  transmitted to the auditory centres in the brain for sound perceptions.

Passive transport can be explained by which
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

It must be large particles move into cells, unless there is another option

Explanation:

Passive transport does not require energy, so the first one is incorrect

Particles are moved from areas of high concentration to an area of low concentration, so the last one is also incorrect

So it should be large particles can move into cells, unless of course there is another option

Please help!<br> the question(s) are in the pdf :)
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

1) b) hypotonic

2) a) hypertonic

3) a) water

4) a) B to A

5) c) osmosis

Explanation:

We have two compartments with water (A) and a solution in which the solvent is water and the solute is starch (B). The solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane, which means that only the water molecules pass through the membrane.

1) In comparison with B, compartment A has a lesser amount of solute so it is hypotonic.

2) In comparison with A, compartment B has more solute (starch) so it is hypertonic.

3) The solvent is water, which dissolves the solute (starch).

4) Only the water molecules will pass through the membrane, and the molecules always move from the compartment with a higher concentration of solute (B) to the compartment with a lesser concentration of solute (A). So, the water moves from B to A.

5) The process in which the molecules of solvent move from a more concentrated solution to a less concentrated solution through a semi-permeable membrane is called osmosis.
