Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The receptors that can detect electrical fields or disturbances in electrical fields are the ampullae of Lorenzini. Sharks, rays, and some species of snakes have these receptors. Option A is incorrect because the Organ of Corti is a structure found in the cochlea of the inner ear involved in hearing. Option B, Malpighian tubules, are found in insects and function in excretion. Option C, Fallopian tubes, are found in female reproductive systems and aid in the transport of eggs. Option D, the Organ of Krebs, is an alternative name for the citric acid cycle, which is a series of chemical reactions involved in energy production.
