Question
Chapter 50.2, Problem 4CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The difference in the type of compartments in which statoliths are found and the physiological mechanism for detecting their response to gravity.
Concept introduction:
Statoliths are the cellular inclusions (plants) or cellular structures (animals) that provide a sense of orientation in the organism according to the gravity.
