In vertebrates, light is detected by __________.
A) photoreceptors found on the retina
B) photoreceptors found within the ganglion cells
C) the lens, which transmits this information via ganglion cell to the brain

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Photoreceptors that detect light are found on the retina, specifically in the cells known as rods and cones. The lens helps to focus the light onto the retina, but it does not detect the light itself. Ganglion cells are involved in transmitting information from the retina to the brain, but they do not contain photoreceptors.
