Rods: dim light and peripheral vision receptors, more sensitive to light
Cones: operate in bright light and provide high acuity color vision
Rods respond to light while Cones respond to color.

threee ways in which rods and cones differ in structure or function
You find rods and cones in the back of your eye near the retium
Rods and cones are parts of the eye. Cones allow for color vision, while rods allow people to see in very low light.
Rods and cones are nerve tissue contained in the retina.
Rods respond to light while Cones respond to color.
rods and cones
Rods can only see in black and white, aka low light conditions. They also provide us with our peripheral vision. Cones allow us to see colors and give us our daytime vision.
There are two types called rods, which a simply sensitive to light and dark, and cones which are sensitive to colours. Both types are found on the retina but the rods dipsersed evenly over the surface whereas cones are concentrated on an area called the fovea.
Rods are a part of the eye that takes in low light. Cones are located in the retina and they are responsible for seeing in color. All mammals have rods and cones in their eyes.
