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.

Describe two potential biological risks of large scale cultivation and use of such genetically modified plants
expeople1 [14]
Risk of large scale production:
1. With an increase in production, there can become managerial problems. Workers can become lax, making of decisions become difficult and communication between workers become hard.
2. A large scale operation, needs technical tools like machines. Finance to buy machines can become a problem and hamper growth.

Risk of Genetically modified plants
1. They can become contaminants. The cross pollinated plants and seeds can travel, and contaminate the gene pool. Thereby, threatening future generations of plants.
2. They can produce side effects. Engineered plants, can lead to development of new toxins, carcinogens and deficiencies of nutrition.

Biocentrism is not considered when looking at life-centered environmental ethics
Murljashka [212]

The given statement is not true.  

Biocentrism in an ecological and political sense, as well as, in an ethical perspective encompasses intrinsic value to all the living creatures. It is an understanding of how the earth functions, mainly as it associates with biodiversity.  

The term biocentrism covers all the environmental ethics, which outspread the status of the moral object from human beings to all the living creatures in nature. Biocentrism witnesses each species as a component of the living biosphere.  

It witnesses the outcomes of minimizing biodiversity on both the large and small scales and emphasis towards the innate values all the species exhibits towards the environment.
