What are the two types of human visual receptors?
The two kinds of receptor in the eye are rods and cones. Rods only see in black and white but are very light sensitive (that's why you see in black and white when it is almost dark) and cones which allow you to see in colour.
What are the rods and cones and what will each one do?
Rods and cones are things in your eye that help you to see black and white. Rods are more sensitive than cones. They're what makes optical illusions possible for our eyes along with perception. Rods are sensitive to only the brigtness of the light, and allow us to see in black and white. Cones provide color vision.
Which animals can see colours?
It is believed that nocturnal animals have little or no colour vision, but that all other animals have some colour vision. Scientists have determined that most marsupials, for example, have good colour vision. Because animals have different ratios of "rods" and "cones" in their eyes, they have different levels of being able to see colour. Rods assist in seeing in the dark; cones assist with colour vision. The ratio of rods to cones in their eyes, as well as the type of cones themselves determines how much colour vision animals have. There are three types of cones which are responsible for colour vision, and each one has a separate pigment which is sensitive to red, blue or green light. What we may see in colour may be very muted colours - almost shades of grey - to dogs. But it is still colour.
Rods and cones are?
Rods and cones are photoreceptors in the eye that allow people to see. Rods allow people to see colors, while cones allow people to see in low light, and in great detail.
Why is your night vision mostly in black-and-white rather than color?
According to physics and physiology- ALL animals except for a certain type of burrower do not have as many, if any cones present in the eye- cones are what detects color. So, No they don't see fully in black in white but they don't see fully in color either, but definitely more in black in white than an color due to rod/cone ratio. (Rods account for black and white). So they see in black and white with slight color, such as a sepia picture- the brownish greyish hint to a black and white photo. Animals cannot see red, those cones are not found in animals, if 1 is found it is not enough to produce an effect against the millions of rods! Bulls charge at red but also anything else that is producing movement, and bulls are not color blind according to popular gossip- they do not have cones to see red. If any other color is detected from animals they will have a bluish yellowish tint.Fish however do have a more equally proportionate ratio of rods/cones so they are able to see more colors more vividly than animals. This is why communicative color patterns on and between animals are so bright and distinguished: so that animals can see them and recognize them with their lack of cones that allow them to see more colors more vividly.
What colors do you see when all three classes of cones are stimulated?
White
What color do you see when all three cone populations are stimulated equally?
White.
Why do you see color of an object if you look straight at it?
the cones which sence colour are concentrated near the center of the retina. when looking straight at an object it maxmizes the number of cones being stimulated. Alice rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why do you not see color at the periphery of your vision?
cones and rods make up your eyes. cones allow you to see colors, while rods allow you to see black and white. there are no cones in the spot where you have peripheral vision.

On a tv screen which colors make yellow?
I do not remember the exact science of it, but it has to do with the photo receptors in your eyes. There are two kinds of receptors in your eyes: cones which focus on color and rods, which focus on light. There are 3 kinds of cones: those that see blue, green or red (i.e. short wavelengths, medium and long.) When more than one wavelength reaches the cones (say a medium one (green) and a long one (red)) then the cones that receive these two wavelengths (i.e. the red and the green cones) cancel each other out and the Blue receptor is stimulated instead.The blue cone can see either blue or yellow. If it receives a short wave, it sees blue, but if the green and red cones are stimulated at the same time (remember they cancel each other out), then the blue cone is stimulated to see YELLOW.
Which of these allows us to see in black and white and in dim light?
cones
Why is it important for eyes to have both rods and cones?
The retina has two kinds of photoreceptors: rods and cones. The rods help you see black-and-white movies, while the cones help you see in color. If you had neither one or lost both you wouldn't be able to see in black-and-white, color, or you would be blind.

What do the rods in your eyes do?
The rods in your eyes are part of what allows you to see colors. Cones also help you to see colors. If you are born without cones and rods, or if the ones in your eyes are defective, you are colourblind.

What part of the eye are responsible for color vision?
The part of the eye which enables us to see colour are the millions of cones. Rods, on the other hand, enable night vision, but can only help one see black, white and shades of grey.
