Question

what is the process by which light is converted into electrical signals by photoreceptor cells called?
phototransformation
photocatalysis
photoconversion
phototransduction
phototranscription

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

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.

Answer:

D. Phototransduction
