b)the rods and cones in the cochlea detect photons
c) hair cells called cilia that line the inside of the cochlea are triggered by sound waves of different frequencies
d) the malleus, incus, and stapes amplify information from the tympanic membrane

3. Some animals, like humans, have two eyes on the front of the head that perceive a mostly overlapping visual field. In contrast, some herbivores (rabbits, for example) have eyes on the sides of their head and visual fields that may not overlap at all. How does this impact perception of the environment?
