What is color perception?
Cones
What are the two type of photoreceptor?
Rods and cones.
What is the role of Rhodopsins in cones in humans?
cones cells from the retina do not contain rhodopsin, they use iodopsin for light perception.
Photosensitive receptor cells of the retina make the perception of color possible?
cones
What parts of the eye helps us see color?
Light travels through the pupil to the cones, which lie on the inside of the eye. It is these photoreceptors that allow the perception of color.
What rods are to light intensity as cones are to?
rod cells are to intensity of light as con cells are to colour.
Is color blindness external?
color blindness is when people do not have enough rods (certain cells) in their eyes. rods sense color and cones sense light. Males have more rods then cones and females have more cones than rods, which is why females tend to have better color perception and fewer incidences of color blindness then males and why males have better night vision.
What part of your eye needs bright light?
Color perception, made possible by structures called cones, requires relatively bright light, in comparison to black & white perception made possible by structures called rods.
What type of sensation is hard for a person to tell exactly where it is coming from?
Chronic painThe Cones are responsible for sharp focus and color perception. (particularly in bright light)
What do cones respond to?
Cones respond to color .
