B is better because it has more surface area.

The surface area to volume ratio is a critical factor in deciding the ability of a cell to take in the nutrients through a passive transport process like diffusion. When the surface area to volume ratio is high, diffusion becomes the best way to take in the nutrients without the expense of energy. When the surface area to volume ratio is low, the cell requires active processes like presence of specialized transport proteins and cytoskeleton to take in the nutrients. In the two models, model A has a lower surface area to volume ratio (\frac{6 \times a^2}{a^3}) while the model B has a greater surface area to volume ratio (\frac{(6+2) \times a^2}{a^3}, when the two inner surfaces are included). Hence model B will have better movement of nutrients through diffusion than model A.

A.  B is better because it has more surface area.

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.
