What type of camera has a sensor that converts light into eletrical charges?
Any film camera with a light meter, and every digital camera, has a sensor that will do that.
What is exposure in a digital camera?
Exposure is the combination of shutter speed and aperture used to expose the image sensor in a digital camera. When the image sensor receives the right amount of light, your picture comes out correctly exposed. The camera's light meter determines how big to open the aperture (the hole to allow light in) and for how long (the shutter speed). If the image sensor receives less light than it requires, your picture comes out under-exposed. If the image sensor receives more light than it requires, your picture comes out over-exposed.
What part of a camera controls the amount of light that enters the camera?
The functional opening is the aperture, the opening that controls the amount of light that hits the photosensitive surface. You may have a camera with interchangeable lenses that screw into and out of the camera's body. The opening into which the lens is screwed is not the aperture.

No front-facing camera on the chaser phone. According to my owner's manual, it has a Proximity Sensor and a Light Sensor in the place where a front facing camera is, so I mistakenly thought it had one.
