Explanation / Answer
1.A.
The shark can detect vibrations in water through the LATERAL line (1 word) and its inner ear with 3 SEMICIRCULAR CANALS
1.B.
The shark's eye have several specialization like a NICTITATING membrane for protection, a TAPETUM LUCIDUM for better night vision and a RETRACTOR LENTIS muscle for focusing the lens of the eye.
Sharks can detect electricity and vibrations in the water. One of the primary senses of the shark is its keen sense of smell. For example, a shark is capable of detecting even a single drop of blood in a million drops of water (25 gallons or 100 liters). With the help of its paired nostrils on the underside of its snout, it can smell blood 0.25 mile (0.4 km) away.
The lateral line is a system of sense organs. It is usually found in aquatic vertebrates. It is used by these organisms to detect movement, vibration, and pressure gradients in the water.
The semi-circular canals in the inner ear of the shark provide the shark with a sense of balance.
The nictitating membrane is a translucent membrane that acts as an inner eyelid and confers protection to the eyes.
The tapetum lucidum is a biologic reflector system that enhances the visual sensitivity of retinas at low light levels.
