Photoreceptors can respond to light in milliseconds. Upon exposure to light, photoreceptors quickly undergo a series of biochemical reactions that lead to changes in their membrane potential, triggering neural signals to be sent to the brain.
no. they are called eyes. photoreceptors are cells within the eye that respond to light such as cones and rods.
Cones are photoreceptors that operate best in bright light. They are responsible for color vision and high visual acuity.
The retina in the eye contains millions of photoreceptors known as rods and cones. These photoreceptors are responsible for converting light into electrical signals that the brain can interpret as vision.
The special sense that relies on photoreceptors is vision. Photoreceptors in the retina of the eye, called rods and cones, help convert light into electrical signals that the brain interprets as images.
The photoreceptors responsible for twilight vision are called rods. Rods are highly sensitive to light and are most active in dim light conditions, allowing us to see in low-light situations.
The phototropic response to light occurs in plant cells, specifically in specialized cells called photoreceptors. These photoreceptors detect the direction and intensity of light and trigger a growth response in the plant, causing it to grow towards the light source. This response helps the plant optimize its exposure to light for photosynthesis.
Photoreceptors sense light. They are what allows you to see.

Dark adaption usually takes 8-10minutes for cone photoreceptors. Rod photoreceptors (cells specialising in low light vision) take 20-30 minutes to adapt.
