The Science of Photobiology

Abstract

Organisms are subjected to a variety of environmental stimuli to which they respond and adapt. A schematic relationship between the stimulus and the response is illustrated in Fig. 11–1. Each stimulus (e.g., light, chemical) in some way interacts (e.g., absorption) with a discrete receptor in a step referred to as perception. The perceived stimulus signal is then processed through a chain of reactions, leading to an outcome such as a change in motility. This entire process from the perception of a stimulus to the response is referred to as sensory transduction.
