Question

question 10 of 10
transduction is:

a. sending information to the central nervous system.

b. the process of seeing and hearing.

c. transferring information.

d. turning energy into nerve impulses.

Explanation:

In the context of sensory systems (a topic in Biology, a subfield of Natural Science), transduction refers to the process where sensory receptors convert different forms of energy (like light, sound, pressure) into nerve impulses (electrical signals) that the nervous system can process. Option A describes transmission to the CNS, not transduction. Option B is too vague about the sensory process. Option C is a general description, while D accurately defines transduction in sensory physiology.

Answer:

D. turning energy into nerve impulses.
