Why do most predators have a greater amount of rod cells in their eye than cone cells?
Because cone cells are activated by light, that is why our pupils get smaller and larger, to let more or less light in, where as rod cells have no need for light, and are better for seeing in the dark, wich is a valueble abilaty when you are a pretator.
Do bobcats have more rod cells or cone cells?
like us humans, a bobcat has more rod cells than cone cells
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.
How does the human eye process the light?
The retina is covered with specialized cells called rod cells (black and white) and cone cells (colors) they convert electrons that hit them into electrical impulses/nerve impulses that are interpreted by the brain. The locations of the millions of cells are transmitted in-time and curiously upside-down. The brain 'flips' the image to right side up.
How cone and rod cells enable a person to see?
colors
Difference between rod cell and cone cell?
Rod cells are sensitive to dim light, while cone cells help you see colors.
The specific cells in the eye which responds to wavelengths of light are?
rod and cone cells
How rod cells are excited?
Rod cells are excited by very low levels of light, in contrast to cone cells that are excited by higher levels of light.
What are the receptors in the eye?
You have rod cells and cone cells as receptors in your eye. Rods are for intensity of the light. Cone cells are for color vision.
What are the two kinds of photoreceptor types in the retina?
The retina has two kinds of light sensitive cells, called photoreceptors, the rod and the cone cells. Rod cells are sensitive to absolute light levels (not color vision) while cone cells are used for color vision.
How does the human eye see color?
The retinas in the eyes have receptors for color called cones(also known as cone cells). You have one that measures the amount red light, another measures green light, and the third measures light intensity.Your occipital lobes in your brain actually process this information as color by deducing the amount of blue light from the other three factors.The Cone cells measure Red light, Green light, or Blue light. Other cells called Rod cells measure intensity. Humans have full tricolor vision, not bicolor.Most other mammals have only bicolor vision: Cone cells measure Yellow light or Blue light. Rod cells measure intensity.Birds have Quadcolor vision: Cone cells measure Red light, Green light, Blue light, or Ultraviolet light. Rod cells measure intensity.

What part of the body has cones in it has cones in it?
The eye .In there eye there is rod cells and cone cells. Rod cells detect color and Cone cells detect black and white. The cone cells let you see in the dark.
Do owl have cone or rod cells?
No it have the cones or rod cells as we have but its size is two times bigger than us, that's why owls can see clearly in dark but not in light.
What kind of wave is in the retina of the eye detect light and send signals to the brain?
rod and cone cells
