Question

Which of the following sensory receptors in incorrectly paired with its category? A) hair cell = mechanoreceptor B) muscle spindle = mechanoreceptor C) taste receptor = chemoreceptor D) rod = electromagnetic receptor E) olfactory receptor = electromagnetic receptord

Answer 1

E) olfactory receptor = electromagnetic receptor

Step-by-step explanation:

This pair is incorrectly matched. Olfactory receptors are correctly categorized as **chemoreceptors**, as they are responsible for detecting and responding to chemical stimuli in the form of odor molecules. They are not electromagnetic receptors, as electromagnetic receptors are typically associated with the detection of electromagnetic waves, such as light (as in the case of rods and cones in the retina of the eye).
