In animals the sensory capabilities evolved over hundreds of millions of years. It is therefore not surprising that different se

nsory aspects use similar transduction mechanisms.
a) In terms of transduction (i.e., the way energy or chemicals are sensed and transduced into an electrical signal), which distinct human sensory systems use the same molecular mechanisms?

Answer:

Olfactory system

Explanation:

In an olfactory system, odor molecules are perceived by the olfactory receptors. These odor molecules are nothing but the chemicals which are then transduced as chemical signals into the electrical signals and sent to the brain. The brain perceives these electrical signals as smell.  

The odorant particles bind to the specific receptors located at cilia which then signal through the G protein Gαolf which then activate adenylate cyclase. Adenylate cyclase leads to cAMP production which then open a cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channel through which both sodium and calcium ion entern into the cell. Calcium ion then activates chloride channels and thereby causing transduction of electrical signal

Seawater, water that makes up the oceans and seas, covering more than 70 percent of Earth's surface. Seawater is a complex mixture of 96.5 percent water, 2.5 percent salts, and smaller amounts of other substances, including dissolved inorganic and organic materials, particulates, and a few atmospheric gases.

The most abundant dissolved ions in seawater are sodium, chloride, magnesium, sulfate and calcium. Its osmolarity is about 1000 mOsm/l.

MakcuM [25]

Explanation:

Echolocation is one of the methods of orientation mainly used by the microchiropteran or insectivorous bats. While flying, these bats emit high frequency ultrasound. These sound pulses hit obstacles like rocks, trees, walls etc. and their echoes are heard by bats.
