What is the meaning of orange cones?
Orange cones are widely used to mark areas that are off limits. They are usually used this way by construction workers but they can also be used in other ways.
What is the transport mechanism using ATP?

What type of receptors are involved with vision?
The rod and cone cells of the eye's retina are specialized to respond to the electromagnetic radiation of light. The total number of rods in the human retina (91 million) far exceeds the number of cones (roughly 4.5 million).The highest concentration of cones is in the macula. The fovea centralis, at the center of the macula, contains only cones and no rods.The macula lutea is the small, yellowish central portion of the retina. It is about 5.5 mm in diameter and is the area providing the clearest, most distinct vision.When one looks directly at something, the light from that object forms an image on one’s macula.A healthy macula ordinarily is capable of achieving at least 20/20 (“normal”) vision or visual acuity, even if this is with a correction in glasses or contact lenses.The rods are most sensitive to light and dark changes, shape and movement and contain only one type of light-sensitive pigment.Rods are not good for color vision. In a dim room, however, we use mainly our rods, but we are "color blind."The cones are not as sensitive to light as the rods. However, cones are most sensitive to one of three different colors (green, red or blue).Signals from the cones are sent to the brain which then translates these messages into the perception of color. Cones, however, work only in bright light.That's why you cannot see color very well in dark places. So, the cones are used for color vision and are better suited for detecting fine details.Some people cannot tell some colors from others - these people are "color blind." Someone who is color blind does not have a particular type of cone in the retina or one type of cone may be weak.In the general population, about 8% of all males are color blind and about 0.5% of all females are color blind.
What happens to a person whose retina only contains rods but no cones?
People born without (functional) cones have no color vision, poor resolution in their central vision, and are VERY sensitive to light (they require very dark sunglasses that also block light from the sides). The name of this condition is Achromatopsia (Latin for 'without color vision') or stationary cone dystrophy. People who have some (or initially-normal) color vision but slowly lose it over a few years, have progressive cone dystrophy. The absence of color vision is often genetic (about 1 of every 30,000 individuals), although it can also be caused by brain trauma. There is no known cure.If born w/o a retina you won't see a thing.
Would pine cones be used to produce glycerin for dynamite?
I suppose that this suggestion is not true.
What do you use cones for?

What color was the mechanism used to break Japan's diplomatic codes named after?
Purple
What parts of the eye are used to see colour?
The retina is mostly rods and cones. They are placed across the back of the eyeball. The cones are the color receptors. The rods give the light intensity information.
Photoreceptor that is not used for color vision?
Rods are the photoreceptors that are not used in color vision. Rods are much more plentiful than the cones, and much more sensitive, they are responsible for scotopic vision.
Do rods detect color in eye receptors?
Rods are used to detect variances in light and are perceived as black, grey and white. Cones are used to pick up colors.
How do you see color?
You see colors when light strikes certain types of cells in the retina of the eye. These cells are called photoreceptors. The main types are called rods and cones. There is a third type which works when a human either has nor rods and cones or has ones which are blocked by the use of chemicals. Cones are the main source of color recognition. There are millions and millions of them in the retina. There are three types of cones, each being receptive to a different wavelength of light. Each wavelength corresponds to a different color. When light strikes a photoreceptor it releases a chemical that begins a complex process that enables the brain to recognize the color. To see color properly, a person must have all three types of cones, otherwise the person's eye will not have the photoreceptor that reacts to that particular wavelength. The chemical process from the cone to the brain where color is truly "seen" is too involved to be gone into here. Objects absorb colors and they reflect colors. For example some apples are red.the apple absorbs every color except for red. The apple reflects red.At the molecular level, these color photoreceptor neurons must express color sensitive proteins called "opsins". They must also express only one opsin gene. The pattern of opsin gene expression is used by the brain to interpret the photons from the eye to see in color.
Are all traffic cones orange?
The most common color for traffic cones in the United States is flourescent orange. The color orange was selected becuase it is bright and will stand out easily. Though orange ones are most often used, other bright, easily seen colors are available inlcuding red, pink and yellow. In the UK, a yellow cone with blue and red symbols is used to denote a "no parking" zone.
What are construction cones used for?
Construction cones are used to keep people from accidentally interrupting construction. Without them there would be quite a few problems when building.

Orange cones are widely used to mark areas that are off limits. They are usually used this way by construction workers but they can also be used in other ways.
