cone cells help you see colors while rod cells helps you see in dim light
One is for daylight conditions and one is for evening/nighttime conditions.
rods detect black, white and certain shades of gray and cones detect sharp details and colors. i.e color blind people have a problem with their cones. Cones contain the pigment iodopsin while rods contain rhodopsin. The membranes of rods undergo renewal but cones' don't.
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 respond to light while Cones respond to color.
rods and cones
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.
