Which structure acts as a transducer in the spiral organ (organ of corti?

The correct answer is basilar membrane.

Explanation:

The organ of Corti is maintained by a membrane known as basilar membrane, which is of the dimension of a pea, and functions as a transducer that transforms vibrations into nerve impulses. The basilar membrane is an essential part of the inner ear, which is situated within the cochlea that gets moved by the waves of sound that fall on the ear. This tantalizing component plays an essential function in hearing.

answer: - few nutrients

high pressure

low temperatures

explanation: 1. few nutrients:   open-ocean zone is located way far from the land, which is the main source of the essential nutrients.2. high pressure: pressure increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters increase in depth.3. ample sunlight: a large fraction of the sunlight is reflected back to the atmosphere from the sea surface. 4. varying salinity: below the thermocline, the water is isolated from the atmosphere so the salinity remains stable over the year.5. low temperatures:   the temperature of open-ocean zone ranges from a low of -2°c to an average of 17°c
