How do photoreceptor cells, such as cones and rods, differ in their functions within the human eye?

Photoreceptor cells in the human eye, such as cones and rods, differ in their functions. Cones are responsible for color vision and detecting fine details, while rods are more sensitive to low light levels and help with night vision.

What happens when people only have functions of cones and no rods?

If you only had the use of your rods (shade receptors), you would be colour blind. Depending on which cones (colour receptors) were ineffective, you could be red green colourblind, or even completely colourblind.


How do rods and cones in the human eye compare and contrast in terms of their functions and sensitivity to light?

Rods and cones are two types of photoreceptor cells in the human eye. Rods are more sensitive to low light levels and are responsible for night vision, while cones are less sensitive to light but are responsible for color vision and detecting fine details. Rods are more numerous than cones and are located mainly in the peripheral retina, while cones are concentrated in the central retina. Overall, rods are better at detecting dim light, while cones are better at detecting color and detail in bright light.


How do the function of the rods and cones different?

Rods respond to light while Cones respond to color.
