Which type of the receptors are present in the ear__________________?

Correct answer: B. Mechanoreceptors

  • A. Chemoreceptors
  • B. Mechanoreceptors
  • C. Photoreceptors
  • D. Thermoreceptors

Explanation

Hearing and balance depend on hair cells that respond to mechanical displacement caused by sound waves or movement of fluid in the inner ear. Therefore, the receptors of the ear are mechanoreceptors. The likely alternative is photoreceptors, but photoreceptors detect light in the retina, not mechanical vibrations in the ear.
