Question

Ampullae of Lorenzini allow sharks to
1)use echolocation to hunt down prey
2)smell blood from a mile away
3)detect electromagnetic pulses to detect prey
4)glide through the water like an airplane

Answer 1

The Ampullae of Lorenzini are specialized electroreceptor organs found in sharks and some other cartilaginous fishes. They allow sharks to **detect electromagnetic pulses** released by other organisms, which makes it easier for them to locate prey, especially those that may be hiding in the sand or other areas.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

**3) detect electromagnetic pulses to detect prey.**
