Where is the photoreceptor located?
the back portion of the eye
Function of photoreceptor?
Photoreceptor can refer to:In anatomy/cell biology:Photoreceptor cell: a photosensitive cell, most commonly referring to a specialized type of neuron found in the retina of vertebrate eyes that is capable of phototransduction;Ocellus (invertebrate photoreceptor): a photoreceptor organ ("simple eye") of invertebrates often comprised of a few sensory cells and a single lens;Eyespot apparatus (microbial photoreceptor): the photoreceptor organelle of a unicellular organism that allows for phototaxis.In biochemistry:Photoreceptor protein: a chromoprotein that responds to being exposed to a certain wavelength of light by initiating a signal transduction cascade;Photopigment: an unstable pigment that undergoes a physical or chemical change upon absorbing a particular wavelength of light;Photosynthetic pigment: molecules involved in transducing light into chemical energy.In technology:Photodetector or photosensor: a device that detects light by capturing photonsPhotoreceptor: the component of a xerographic copier or printer that captures the virtual image that will eventually be printed on paper.
