Which of the following statements about sensory cells is false?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensory cells are specialized cells that respond to specific types of stimuli, such as light, sound, taste, or pressure. They can produce gradually diminishing responses to repeated stimulation (A), changes in stimulus strength can lead to changes in the frequency of action potentials generated by sensory cells (C), and they display a phenomenon called adaptation (D). However, sensory cells are not able to respond equally to all types of stimuli (B). Each sensory cell is sensitive to specific types of stimuli and will generate action potentials only when stimulated by that particular stimulus. Therefore, different sensory cells are responsible for detecting different stimuli. Finally, some sensory cells are assembled with other cell types that enhance their ability to collect, filter, and amplify stimuli, such as in the case of photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye (E).
