Question

sensory receptors of the eye
the special sensory receptors of the eye are
photoreceptors
mechanoreceptors
chemoreceptors
thermoreceptors

Explanation:

Photoreceptors are specialized cells in the eye (like rods and cones) that detect light (photons). Mechanoreceptors respond to mechanical forces (e.g., touch, pressure), chemoreceptors to chemical substances (e.g., taste, smell), and thermoreceptors to temperature changes. Since the eye's main function related to sensory reception is detecting light, photoreceptors are the correct choice.

Answer:

photoreceptors
