Which statement about sensory systems is not true? $a$. Sensory transduction involves the conversion (direct or indirect) of a physical or chemical stimulus into changes in membrane potentials. $b .$ In general, a stimulus causes a change in the flow of ions across the plasma membrane of a sensory cell. c. The term "adaptation" refers to the process by which a sensory system becomes insensitive to a continuing source of stimulation. $d$. The more intense a stimulus, the greater the magnitude of each action potential fired by a sensory neuron. $e .$ Sensory adaptation plays a role in the ability of organisms to discriminate between important and unimportant information.
Humans have both special and general senses. Which statement explains what both types of senses have in common? a. All types of senses undergo sensory transduction by converting a stimulus into a chemical signal via the central nervous system. b. All types of senses undergo sensory transduction by converting a stimulus into an electrical signal via the peripheral nervous system. c. All types of senses undergo sensory transduction by converting a stimulus into a chemical signal via the nervous system. d. All types of senses undergo sensory transduction by converting a stimulus into an electrical signal via the nervous system.
Which statement about sensory systems is not true? a. Sensory transduction involves the conversion (direct or indirect) of a physical or chemical stimulus into changes in membrane potentials. b. In general, a stimulus causes a change in the flow of ions across the plasma membrane of a sensory receptor cell. c. The term "adaptation" refers to the process by which a sensory system becomes insensitive to a continuing source of stimulation. d. The more intense a stimulus, the greater the magnitude of each action potential fired by a sensory neuron. e. Sensory adaptation plays a role in the ability of organisms to discriminate between important and unimportant information.
