What is the role of pupil in a human eye?
The pupil is circular opening located in the center of the iris (the colored part of the eye). It controls the amount of light that enters the eye.In bright light, muscles in the iris cause the pupil to become smaller, so that less light enter the eye, i dim light, the pupil becomes larger so that more light can enter the eye.
What changes in diameter in response to light in the eye?
Your pupil will dilate in low light and constrict in bright light.Answer 2Note that the pupil is just the opening in the iris. Strictly speaking, the iris contracts and so the pupil gets smaller.
Why do low lying plants such as scrub or tundra grow in some climates while rich forest grow in others?
At low temperature and very low light intensity only scrub vegetation can grow. For thick forests the there should be optimum temperature and high intensity of light as seen in tropical rain forests.
Why do your pupils change size?
Your pupils change size to let in either less or more light to let you see. So if you close your eyes for about a minute your pupils will become larger because no light is getting to them, however if you look into a light your pupils will shrink so as not to let to much light in. Thank you.

Sunlight. They don't get much sunlight due to being so low on the ground beneath trees with large leaves.
Can duckweed grow in low light?

How does the iris adjust to the amount of light that enter he?
The iris is a muscle located behind the cornea of the eye. It adjusts the size of the pupil to control the amount of light entering the eye. In bright light, the iris contracts to make the pupil smaller, limiting the amount of light that reaches the retina. In low light, the iris relaxes, making the pupil larger to allow more light into the eye.
Are muscles that control your pupil involuntary?
No. They are involuntary and involved in the reflex action in response to light intensity (i.e. high light intensity - pupil constricts, low light intensity - pupil dilates) which is an involuntary response to stimuli (hence why it's considered a reflex action).
What does the iris of the human eye do when the light is bright?
The Iris controls the size of the pupil to control the brightness of the light that's allowed to enter the eye. This is a protective measure when the light is too bright and it also opens the iris in low light situations to allow the eye to see more. Well, the iris changes the size of the pupil so when you are in bright light your pupil will get smaller because the eye will absorb all light striking it. However, when you are in a dark room or place your pupil will get bigger/wider because it has no light to absorb it so your eye wants light. For example think of the pupil trying to look for light so it has to get wider!
Which part of the eye becomes narrower in bright light?
The pupil narrows in bright light to restrict the amount of light coming in. In low light conditions it will enlarge to allow more light in for greater vision.

What Is the part of the eye that contracts and dilates to adjust the amount of light entering the pupil.?
IrisThe colored part of the eye which helps regulate the amount of light entering the eye. When there is bright light, the iris closes the pupil to let in less light. And when there is low light, the iris opens up the pupil to let in more lightLensFocuses light rays onto the retina. The lens is transparent, and can be replaced if necessary. Our lens deteriorates as we age, resulting in the need for reading glasses. Intraocular lenses are used to replace lenses clouded by cataracts.CorneaThe clear front window of the eye which transmits and focuses (i.e., sharpness or clarity) light into the eye. Corrective laser surgery reshapes the cornea, changing the focus.
How long does it take for a pothos plant to grow?
A pothos plant is an easy plant to grow. They tolerate low light so they can grow well in a bathroom. They will tolerate poor soil.
You would expect the pupil to be dilated in which circumstances?
It either means you're on drugs or you are attracted to that person
Can clownfish live in low light reef tanks?
Clownfish are capable of living in low light, however it is not healthy for them. Clownfish get the most of their nutrition from grazing, they are omnivores. On a low light reef, less algae will build up and less the fish will have to eat. However, If you supplement with plant foods and protein, then it would be better. It all depends on how low the light is. If you can grow coral then fish will be fine in it.
