The hairlike cells in the cochlea are <u>Mechanoreceptors </u>

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

The cochlea is present as a spiral structure within the inner ear. The vibrating movements of the fluid stimulate the hair-like processes of the sensory cells of the cochlea. It creates an impulse which is transmitted to the brain through the auditory nerve.

In the organ of corti, the one which contains hair cells called stereocilia. It has got microvilli like structures arranged in order. The hair cell is a mechano receptors which combines different sounds  and hence hearing happens .

Why does photosynthesis require water? a. because water provides oxygen atoms. b. because water provides electrons . c. because
katovenus [111]

Answer:

The correct answer would be b. because water provides electrons.

During the light reaction of the photosynthesis, the water is photolysed into high energy electrons, hydrogen ions, and oxygen.

The overall reaction can be written as:

2 H₂O + sunlight → 4 H⁺ + 4 e⁻ + O₂

It takes in water-splitting complex associated with photo-system II rooted in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplast.

The oxygen is released as the byproduct of photosynthesis.

The hydrogen ions help in the formation chemiosmotic potential across the thyllakoid membrane which help in the formation of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

The electrons are used to replace the electrons lost from chlorophyll a of reaction centre associated with photo-system II. The electrons are lost due to the photo-excitation of chlorophyll a.

The electrons lost from chlorophyll a help in the production of ATP and are used to reduce NADP⁺ into NADPH.

The ATP and NADPH are used in light-independent reaction of the photosynthesis to produce glucose or food.
