What is the light sensitive tissue in the eye?

The retina. This consists of layers of cells that detect light and colour and transmit information to the brain via the optic nerve.


What light sensitive cells in the eye detct color?

The cones, located in the retina, detect color.


What kind of wave is in the retina of the eye detect light and send signals to the brain?

rod and cone cells


Where is the photoreceptor located?

Photoreceptors are located in the retina of the eye. They are specialized cells that detect and respond to light, allowing us to see and perceive our visual environment.


What cells in the retina are primarily responsible for night vision as opposed to day vision?

Rod cells are primarily responsible for night vision, as they are more sensitive to low light levels and can detect dim light. Cone cells, on the other hand, are responsible for day vision and are less sensitive to light but can detect color and high levels of light.


How do rod cells detect motion?

Rod cells do not detect motion directly. They are specialized photoreceptor cells in the retina that are more sensitive to low light levels and help us see in dim light. Motion detection is a complex process that involves the interaction of multiple types of cells in the retina and processing of visual information in the brain.


What is the area on the retina where the optic nerve attaches and has no rods or cones to detect light or color?

It's called the blind spot - it can't detect light because there are no light sensitive receptor cells located here.


The retina comtains what kind of cells that detect certain wave length of light?

The retina contains photoreceptor cells called cones that detect specific wavelengths of light. There are three types of cones that are sensitive to red, green, and blue light, allowing us to perceive a wide range of colors.


Mostly are found in the periphery of the retina?

Rod cells are mostly found in the periphery of the retina. These cells are responsible for vision in low light conditions and do not detect color but are sensitive to light intensity. They are more concentrated towards the outer edges of the retina, helping with peripheral vision.


Location in the eye where light energy changes to electric energy?

Light energy is converted into electrical energy in the retina of the eye. The retina contains specialized cells called photoreceptors (rods and cones) that detect light and convert it into electrical signals that can be transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve.


What are the the two cells in the retina?

Specialized cells are those that perform a specific function in the body. They have undergone many changes in order to be best suited to perform that specific function.Specialized cells include:Cardiac cells of the heartNeurons of the brainSarcomeres of the musclesOsteoblasts of the bones


What type of image is formed in our eye?

An image is formed on the retina at the back of our eye. The retina contains special cells that detect light and convert it into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for processing.
