AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -D. Explanation: Transduction describes the processes by which raw energy is converted into neural signals and then into perceptions by the nervous system.

Detailed explanation-2: -The process by which rods and cones change electromagnetic energy into neural messages is called what? Transduction.

Detailed explanation-3: -The transduction (conversion) of light into nerve signals that the brain can understand takes placed in specialized cells in the retina called photoreceptors. Each photoreceptor has four parts: an outer segment, an inner segment, a cell body, and a synaptic ending.

Detailed explanation-4: -DESCRIBING ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY Radio and microwaves are usually described in terms of frequency (Hertz), infrared and visible light in terms of wavelength (meters), and x-rays and gamma rays in terms of energy (electron volts).

Detailed explanation-5: -When light hits the retina (a light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eye), special cells called photoreceptors turn the light into electrical signals. These electrical signals travel from the retina through the optic nerve to the brain. Then the brain turns the signals into the images you see.
