The correct answer is A. To convert light to electrical impulses

Explanation:

Photoreceptor cells as those found in photosensitive tissue in the retina are a type of specialized cells that convert light into electrical impulses or signs that are later processed to create images or representation of the objects or elements that are being seen, this process is known as visual phototransduction. Additionally, these cells can be of different types including cones, rods and retinal ganglion cells as each of these processes different types of light. According to this, the purpose of photoreceptor cells is "To convert light to electrical impulses".

Deoxyribose Glucose Guanine Phosphate Ribose
Sergeu [11.5K]
There is no attached table, so it could not be told precisely which of the four molecules is the DNA. But, it is known that DNA consists of deoxyribose, guanine, and phosphate. 
The base unit of DNA is called a nucleotide. The nucleotide consists of a nucleobase (adenine - A, thymine - T, cytosine - C, and <u>guanine -G</u>), a monosaccharide <u>deoxyribose</u>, and a <u>phosphate </u>group. <span>By knowing this, it is easy to choose which molecule of those is the DNA.</span>
