Democritus is a Greek theorist that believes that atom is the smallest part of the substance. Atom, as he defined, is an indivisible entity. Leuccipus was Democritus' teacher who also believed on that notion. All matter are made up of atoms. If atoms are intact, the property of the substance is firm and solid while if the atoms are much apart, it would be described as a gas. Aristotle had a different belief of matter. He believed that the composing entities of matter are the four elements. However, this notion was rejected and proven through scientific inquiries about atoms and subatomic particles

The process occurring at the sensory receptors that converts physical energy into coded neural activity that the nervous system
Anika [276]

Answer:

Sensory transduction

Explanation:

The sensory process involves many steps to send the signals from the receptor to the brain.

In this, the step that is involved in the conversion of the physical energy into the electrical signal at the sensory receptor  (in the given case mechanoreceptors) is known as the Sensory transduction.

When the mechanoreceptors get stimulus by the physical force, it opens the mechanical gate of the dendrites which allows the influx of the positive ions. The influx of the positive ions causes depolarization of the membrane which initiates the action potential which is then transmitted to the brain.

Thus,  Sensory transduction is the correct answer.
