Do bobcats have more rod cells or cone cells?

Bobcats have more rod cells than cone cells in their eyes. Rod cells are responsible for low-light vision and detecting motion, which are essential for nocturnal predators like bobcats. Cone cells, on the other hand, are responsible for color vision and detail, which are less critical for their hunting behavior.

How are the rod and cone cells in the eye similar to the taste buds in your tongue?

Rod and cone cells in the eye and taste buds on the tongue are both specialized sensory cells that help detect stimuli: light in the case of rod and cone cells, and taste molecules in the case of taste buds. Both types of cells send signals to the brain that are interpreted as visual or taste sensations.
