C) absolute threshold
D) equilibrium constant
E) transduction threshold

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The absolute threshold refers to the minimum amount of physical energy needed to produce a sensory experience. This is typically defined as the point at which a stimulus can be detected 50% of the time. The other options, such as difference threshold and signal detection, relate to other aspects of sensory processing. The equilibrium constant and transduction threshold are not directly related to sensory perception.
