Processing Light

Light Receptor

• To cause light to bounce off of material

• To cause light to glow because of light

• The ability to see

• A structure that responds to information from the environment because of light

Chose the correct process for eyes to collect information about an object.

• information goes into the eye, the eye holds onto it until it processes the information and then sends it to the brain

• the eyes have structures that sense light, and then the information is sent to the brain to be processed.

• the eyes reflect light back to the object

• light shines into the predators eyes so it is able to recept information about the prey.

Choose the correct flow for being able to see a grasshopper.

• light source > brain > eye > grasshopper

• grasshopper > eye > brain > light source

• brain > eye> light source > grasshopper

• light source > grasshopper > eye > brain
