Which of the following sensory receptors is incorrectly paired with its category?a. Hair cell - mechanoreceptorb. Snake pit organ - thermoreceptorc. Taste receptor - chemoreceptord. Olfactory receptor - electromagnetic receptor

Respuesta :

Answer:

Olfactory receptor - electromagnetic receptor

Explanation:

Olfactory receptors (smell receptors, odorant receptors) are chemoreceptors, responsible for the detection of  smell. Olfactory receptors are located in the olfactory receptor cells (neurons) in the nasal cavity. Odor molecules attach for the cilia, extensions of the olfactory receptor cells. As a consequence,  activated olfactory receptors start signal transduction and thus transmit information about odor to the brain.
