_______ are Sensory Receptors That Transduce Light Energy

Question

_______ are sensory receptors that transduce light energy.
A) Chemoreceptors
B) Photoreceptors
C) Mechanoreceptors
D) Thermoreceptors

Accepted Answer

Photoreceptors are specialized cells in the retina of the eye that transduce light energy into neural signals, which are then sent to the brain for processing. Chemoreceptors detect chemical stimuli, mechanoreceptors detect mechanical stimuli, and thermoreceptors detect temperature changes.
