Question

classify the following structural or functional characteristics based upon whether they are associated with rods or cones. low visual acuity. respond to very low levels of illumination. each contains the photopigment rhodopsin. mainly at the retina periphery. respond only when the light is bright. each contains one of three possible types of photopigments. most dense around the fovea. high visual acuity. allow for color vision. not associated with color vision. high sensitivity. low sensitivity. rods. cones. allow for color vision. < prev 8 of 13 next >

Explanation:

Rods are mainly at the retina periphery, have low visual - acuity, are not associated with color vision, respond to very low levels of illumination, have high sensitivity, and each contains the photopigment rhodopsin. Cones are most dense around the fovea, have high visual - acuity, allow for color vision, respond only when the light is bright, have low sensitivity, and each contains one of three possible types of photopigments.

Answer:

Rods: Low visual acuity, Mainly at the retina periphery, Not associated with color vision, Respond to very low levels of illumination, High sensitivity, Each contains the photopigment rhodopsin
Cones: Most dense around the fovea, High visual acuity, Allow for color vision, Respond only when the light is bright, Low sensitivity, Each contains one of three possible types of photopigments
