________ thousands of tiny projections that add even more surface area to villi

victus00 [196]

Answer:

Each villus, in turn, has thousands of even smaller projections called microvilli (singular: microvillus).

Explanation:

The villi contain capillaries, which are tiny blood vessels. Nutrients are absorbed into these capillaries across the surfaces of the villi and microvilli. Because there are millions of these tiny projections, they greatly increase the surface area for absorption.

Summary of hearing: Vibrations cause the cochlea’s membrane to shake. This causes ripples in the ____________, bending the _____

mash [69]

Answer:

1) Basilar membrane

2) Stereocilia or hair cells

3) Nerve cells

4) Auditory

5) Temporal lobe

Explanation:

Basilar membrane: located inside of the cochlea which is located in the inner ear. This membrane separates two tubes that is filled with liquid which is also important for hearing.

Hair cells: Connected to the basilar membrane and they acts as sensory receptors which can catch movements (ripples) in the basilar membrane and pass this message to the neurons.

Nerve cells: One of the main cell types in the brain, which are responsible for signal transfer.

Auditory cortex: This part of the brain is located in temporal lobe and handles the auditory information.

shrimp that live in the cold waters of Alaska will die if introduced into warm water one likely reason the shrimp do not survive

zysi [14]

...The enzymes in the shrimp denature when exposed to the higher heat. Enzymes denature at high heat. That's what kills you when you're fever is too high, your enzymes denature, which means they are deformed/ become the wrong shape. Since the activation sites on enzymes are very sensitive to shape, they wouldn't work anymore. The cold doesn't denature enzymes however. They don't work as quickly but they still retain their shape.
