retina
Cones are sensitive to Red light (L cones, 64%) Green light (M cones, 32%) and Blue light (S cones, 2%)
The rods (themselves) are sensitive to light The cones are sensitive to colour
There are two types of photoreceptors in the retina. - Cones, which have less photopigments, allow us to see colours, - Rods, which have more photopigments, allow us to see in a less bright (dim) light. The photopigments in the cones are colour-specific, meaning, they are "sensitive" to their own specific colour. (red-sensitive to red, green-sensitive to green, and blue-sensitive to blue colour). These are the three kinds of colour-sensitive pigments, which "co-operation" allow us to see all the colours.
Both rods and cones are light receptors. Rods are connected many to onr neuron, and are good for detecting low-light and movement, but not color. Cones are one to a neuron and detect color. Both are present in most if not all mammals and avians.
Rods are sensitive to absence of light cos they are responsible for night vision or black and white vision while cones are sensitive to presence of light cos they are responsible for colour vision
the retina
Cones are sensitive to color and daylight vision.
Retina which has rods and cones
Cones are sensitive to Red light (L cones, 64%) Green light (M cones, 32%) and Blue light (S cones, 2%)
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.
The rods (themselves) are sensitive to light The cones are sensitive to colour
Rods are more light-sensitive and less color-sensitive than are cones.

the retina
Rods and cones are nerve tissue contained in the retina.
