The basic purpose of sensory structures/organs is to convert stimulus energy into electrical events called action potentials, this is referred to as transduction.

Explanation:

The nervous system basically works by taking environmental stimuli and transforming them into electrical stimuli through a process called "transduction." In this process, the nerve receptors transform the stimulus received into a nerve impulse (action potential), that is, in the process of transduction the energy of the stimulus is transformed into a bioelectric signal, in order to perceive any property of the environment, the energy light, mechanical or chemical. The transduction takes place in the receptors of the sensory organs.

the way that the mass of carbon can be conserved through cellular respiration is through a process/law called the law of conservation of mass which even tho it undergoes a process, mass is not be destroyed or changed
