    Which body part of a human senses light information?

    • Hands

    • Eyes

    • Ears

    • Nose

    Correct Answer
    A. Eyes
    Explanation
    The eyes are the body part of a human that senses light information. They contain specialized cells called photoreceptors that are sensitive to light and enable us to see. When light enters the eyes, it is focused by the lens onto the retina at the back of the eye. The photoreceptor cells in the retina then convert the light into electrical signals that are sent to the brain, allowing us to perceive and interpret visual information.

    • You Go To Sleep

    Correct Answer
    A. Your Stomach Makes Noises
    Explanation
    When a person is hungry, their stomach starts making noises due to the contractions of the muscles in the gastrointestinal tract. These contractions are known as hunger pangs and are a signal that the body needs food. This is a common physiological response to hunger and is often accompanied by other symptoms such as increased salivation and a feeling of emptiness in the stomach. Therefore, the correct answer is "Your Stomach Makes Noises."
