Photoreceptors are specialized cells or proteins capable of detecting light and converting it into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the nervous system. They are found in various organisms, including animals, plants, and certain microorganisms. Photoreceptors play crucial roles in processes such as vision, phototaxis (movement in response to light), circadian rhythm regulation, and photosynthesis.
