Answer:

The correct answer is option C "The pressure change causes the organ of Corti to vibrate vertically".

Explanation:

The organ of Corti is an important structure for auditory perception that acts as a receptor organ for hearing.  The organ of Corti is located in the mammalian cochlea and it allows for the transduction of auditory signals into nerve impulses according to the vibrations that are received from external sources. If the receiving sounds comes from the stapes pushing against membrane covering the oval window, the pressure change will causes the organ of Corti to vibrate vertically. Stimulus from membrane covering the oval window are sent to the organ of Corti, which responds by vibrating vertically.

Scientists have observed that when air pollution is significantly reduced, the frequency of the melanic form of peppered moths:_
zhenek [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is : decreases

Explanation:

The development of the peppered moth is a transformative event of directional color change in the moth populace as a result of air contamination during the Industrial Revolution.

The melanic or dark color type of the peppered moth was not known before pollution level was low before 1811. Hence the decrease in pollution level in atmosphere will lowers the frequency of the melanic form of peppered moths.

Thus, the correct answer is : decreases.

In general, the nervous system
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-E.

Explanation:

The nervous system is one of the most important systems of the animal body which helps in the transmission of the signals to and fro from the body to the nervous system.

The evolution of this system is the basis of the evolution of the human species as it helped and tried the species to sense the external environment most efficiently as well as improved the response to the environment.

The nervous system improved the response by forming new interactions with each other and responding to it by reducing the response time through reflex actions which formed fast acting response to the environment. The transmission of signals improved as the cells were long-lasting that is present form the birth of an organism  

Thus,  option-E is the correct answer.

Why can't nonmetals conduct electricity?
Verizon [17]
<span>Metalloids are metallic-looking brittle solids that are either semiconductors or exist in semiconducting forms, and have amphoteric or weakly acidic oxides. Typical nonmetals have a dull, colored or colorless appearance; are brittle when solid; are poor conductors of heat and electricity; and have acidic oxides.</span>

slamgirl [31]

Biomass is the most used renewable source of energy in US in the year of 2009.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

In US, the country is very cold and use of wood and other plant products as chimney fuels, or in cooking and other purposes are very common. This is because being a temperate country, US has forests of conifers which are source of soft wood, ideal for burning.

Other sources of Biomass energy comes from the biogas, wood wastes, ethanol, municipal solid wastes and even biodiesel.

As a present day scenario, although coal and petroleum are still the most used fuels in US, but the use of renewable sources of energy has increased to twice the amount from 2010 to 2018.

A paragraph on the origin of life​
goblinko [34]

The origin of life on Earth is a set of paradoxes. In order for life to have gotten started, there must have been a genetic molecule something like DNA or RNA capable of passing along blueprints for making proteins, the workhorse molecules of life. But modern cells can’t copy DNA and RNA without the help of proteins themselves. To make matters more vexing, none of these molecules can do their jobs without fatty lipids, which provide the membranes that cells need to hold their contents inside. And in yet another chicken-and-egg complication, protein based enzymes, encoded by genetic molecules, are needed to synthesize lipids.
