5 True/False Questions

1. Flavor → Transparent part of the eye inside the pupil that focuses light onto the retina

   True        False

2. Trichromatic Theory → There are three types of cones in the retina which detect the primary colors of light: red, blue and green. The cones are activated in different combinations to produce the colors of the visible spectrum. Does NOT explain afterimages and color blindness

   True        False

3. Energy Senses → Chemical that communicates information to other organisms through smell

   True        False

4. Feature Detectors → Receptors that sense muscle stretch and contraction

   True        False

5. Optic Nerve → The brain's interpretation of sensory messages; occurs AFTER perception

   True        False
