In the human eye, cones look like a cone, while rods look like short rods. Rods are connected in "parallel", and they detect minimal amounts of light. Cones tend towards a "serial" transmission to the nervous system. Cones also come in various types -- red detecting, green detecting, or blue detecting -- so they enable color vision. Books have been written on this subject, and I wrote a short paragraph.

The rods are all over the retina to absorb light. The cones are limited to a small area to fill in color.

How many cones and rods are there in dogs eye?
There are cones and rods in the eye. While Cones detect color from white light, Rods sense the intensity of the light. For example, let's say green light has 47 intensity and orange has 27 intensity. While cones detect which color is which, rods are basically doing the similar thing as cones are but different because it detects which intensity is which.
Where do you find rods and cones?
You find rods and cones in the back of your eye near the retium
Compare rods and cones?
Rods and cones are parts of the eye. Cones allow for color vision, while rods allow people to see in very low light.
Nerve tissue containing rods and cones?
Rods and cones are nerve tissue contained in the retina.
How do the function of the rods and cones differ?
Rods respond to light while Cones respond to color.
How do the function of the rods and cones different?
Rods respond to light while Cones respond to color.
What cells for visual processing are located closest to the back of the retina?
rods and cones
What is the name of the light sensitives cells within the eye?
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.
What are rods and cones for a cows eye?
Rods are a part of the eye that takes in low light. Cones are located in the retina and they are responsible for seeing in color. All mammals have rods and cones in their eyes.
Do rods or cones help you see in the dark?
rods do
What structure contains cells called rods and cones?
An eye. Rods and cones detect light and colour.
What are the two type of photoreceptor?
Rods and cones.
