Question
what is the process by which light is converted into electrical signals by photoreceptor cells called?
phototransformation
photocatalysis
photoconversion
phototransduction
phototranscription
Phototransduction is the process where photoreceptor cells convert light - energy into electrical signals. Phototransformation is a more general term not specific to this cellular process. Photocatalysis involves using light to drive a chemical reaction. Photoconversion is a broad term for converting light into other forms of energy but not the specific term for this biological process. Phototranscription is not related to this light - to - electrical - signal conversion in photoreceptor cells.
