Which type of sensory receptor responds to chemicals? multiple choice
a) taste cells rod and cone cells in the retina
b) hair cells in the spiral organ of the inner ear hair
c) cells in the semicircular canal of the inner ear
d)hair cells in the vestibule of the inner ear

The correct answer is option A, that is, taste cells, and rod and cone cells in the retina.  

Explanation:

One of the chemical senses is the sense of taste, that is, gustation. Taste refers to an instantaneous chemical sense that provides information regarding the possible threatful components, which moves inside the body.  

On the other hand, rods manage vision in low light, and the cones manage color vision and detail. When the light comes in contact with these two kinds of cells, an array of complex chemical reactions takes place. The chemical, which is produced, that is, the activated rhodopsin generate electrical impulses in the optic nerve.
