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.
What cells in the eye detect light and dark but not color?
Rods are for seeing light and dark, cones are for seeing color.
What light sensitive cells in the eye detct color?
The cones, located in the retina, detect color.
How do rod cells detect motion?
rod cell tell about the intensity of light
What does the prefix photo mean?
Light. IE photosensitive is the same as lightsensitive
What is the area on the retina where the optic nerve attaches and has no rods or cones to detect light or color?
It's called the blind spot - it can't detect light because there are no light sensitive receptor cells located here.
Can guard cells detect light?
yes
What color do you perceive when your eyes detect no light?
Black
What is the sensory receptors that can perceive color?
Cone cells in the retina of the eye detect color. There are three types of cone cells. Two of them detect light of different wavelengths, one medium and the other long. And the third detects the overall intensity of the light source. Your brain uses this information to interpret the combination of those three receptors to give you the sensation that you percieve different colors.
How do we experience color?
Our eyes have severl million sensory cells which can detect the light waves coming from any object and on the basis of wavelength of that waves brain transmit the colour signal to the cells of eyes..
What receptor cells in the eye detect the presence or absence of light?
Rods
What are the the two cells in the retina?
Specialized cells are those that perform a specific function in the body. They have undergone many changes in order to be best suited to perform that specific function.Specialized cells include:Cardiac cells of the heartNeurons of the brainSarcomeres of the musclesOsteoblasts of the bones
