Ampullae of Lorenzini allow sharks to

Question

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.
