Certainly! Based on the passage provided, here is how the dropdown menu can be filled out:
- electromagnetic stimuli (light intensity and color) are received by the eye;
- mechanical stimuli (sound waves) are received by the hair cells of the inner ear;
- mechanical stimuli (pressure) are received by the skin; and
- chemical stimuli (foods) are received by the various taste buds.
So, the completed statements would be:
Each sense receptor responds to different inputs called stimuli. These can be classified as electromagnetic, mechanical, or chemical. The receptor transmits them as signals that travel along nerve cells to the brain. The signals are then processed, resulting in immediate behaviors or memories. For example, electromagnetic stimuli (light intensity and color) are received by the eye; mechanical stimuli (sound waves) are received by the hair cells of the inner ear; mechanical stimuli (pressure) are received by the skin; and chemical stimuli (foods) are received by the various taste buds.
