What is the specific job of a rod in your eye?
Rods are light-sensitive receptors in the retina of vertebrates.
Difference between rod cell and cone cell?
Rod cells are sensitive to dim light, while cone cells help you see colors.
What light-sensitive cells in the eye detect light and dark but not color?
Rods are for seeing light and dark, cones are for seeing color.
What is a retina receptor sensitive to light called?
Rods, which perceive black and white and gray, and cones, which perceive color.
What part of the retina where there are no light sensitive cells?
yellow spot or blind spot. it has no rod or cone photorecepter cells.
Which photoreceptors are extremely sensitive to low level of light?
Rods not green or red or blue. Just RODS.
What do rod cells and cone cells do?
Rods respond to very low levels of light and are primarily responsible for night vision.They also:A Rod Cell is a type of light-sensitive nerve cell found in the retina.Rod cells do not process fine details or colour differences but are highly sensitive to light. A single photon of light is all that is require to produce a response from a Rod Cell.Loss Rod Cells can result in the condition known as Night Blindness.
Are worms sensitive to light?
Yes, they are sensitive to light.
Is Rabeprazole light sensitive?
yes, its light sensitive
What eye cell does not detect color?
The rods in the retina of the eyes are sensitive to low levels of light and movement. The cones are the ones that are sensitive to color and intensity, so the rods do not see color.
