Explanation / Answer
Chemoreceptors help in tasting and smelling. Hence they help in tasting sweet orange, salty peanut and smelling flower. Photoreceptors are located in eye, helps in vision. Hence photoreceptors help in seeing screen. Thermoreceptors regulate temperature, thus feeling warm water and ice cube are examples of it. Proprioceptors are located in ear, hence help in hearing song. Mechanoreceptors are located in skin, hence help in feeling rough surfaces.
