Verified step by step guidance

Identify the key term 'photoreception' and understand its definition: Photoreception is the process by which organisms detect and respond to light stimuli.

Recognize the anatomical structures involved in photoreception: Photoreceptors are specialized cells located in the retina of the eye, responsible for detecting light.

Evaluate each statement based on the definition and anatomical location of photoreceptors: Determine which statement correctly describes the role and location of photoreceptors.

Analyze the first statement: 'Photoreception occurs in the cochlea of the ear.' The cochlea is part of the auditory system, not involved in photoreception.

Analyze the second statement: 'Photoreceptors are located in the retina of the eye.' This statement accurately describes the location and function of photoreceptors, making it the correct answer.
