Answer:

A converting device that receives a comparative chemical signal and convert it to a biological signal

Step-by-step explanation:

A thermoreceptor is a sensitive device that receives temperature dependent signals through elements attached to the device. But a chemoreceptor from the word "receptor" as highlighted in the word, is also a sensitive device that receives a chemical device and transduces it to a biological signal. it is a tool used for biological signal , there are some signals received in chemical form that is needed in a biological form, in such scenario, a chemoreceptor is required to convert from chemical signal to biological signal.

Take note of the word " Transducer" it is a device that changes a signal from one form to another without altering its original form, there are some constant factors that must remain the same in the process of conversion
