Question

What does the place theory of pitch perception suggest? different amplitudes of the basilar membrane are sensitive to sounds of different waves. different portions of the basilar membrane are sensitive to sounds of different frequencies. different portions of the ear are sensitive to sounds of different decibels. different sections of the cochlea are sensitive to sounds of different frequencies?

Answer 1

Answer;
The pitch perception suggests that different portions of the Basilar membrane are sensitive to sounds of different frequencies.

Explanation; 
According to the place theory; different portions of the basilar membrane are sensitive to sounds of different frequencies.
The base of the basilar membrane responds best to high frequencies and the tip of the basilar membrane responds best to low frequencies. Therefore, hair cells that are in the base portion would be labeled as high-pitch receptors, while those in the tip of basilar membrane would be labeled as low-pitch receptors.

Answer 2

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The pitch perception theory suggests that the basilar membrane of the ear responds differently to the different sound frequency.

The base of the base of the this membrane responds best to the high frequency and the low frequency sound is responded by the tip of the basilar membrane.

The hair at the base is best suited for high pitch receptors and tip of the hair are high frequency receptor.

The correct answer is option B
