The eye ( retina) or any other receptors that respond to light.
Cells have proteins called receptors that bind to signaling molecules and initiate a response.Different receptors are specific for different molecules. That means that they will respond only to that signal. Your eyes respond to light but your ears do not.There are hundreds of receptor types found in cells, and varying cell types have different populations of receptors.
pain receptors
Sensory receptors enable you to respond to stimuli in the environment of an organism. Some sensory receptors respond to taste and smell while others respond to physical stimuli.
Chemoreceptors (chemical receptors) respond to chemicals in food and scents.
cold receptors are more numerous
bitter
Mechanoreceptors
Thermoreceptors
The receptors for dynamic equilibrium respond to rotation forces.
