Do bobcats have more rod cells or cone cells?

Bobcats have more rod cells than cone cells in their eyes. Rod cells are responsible for low-light vision and detecting motion, which are essential for nocturnal predators like bobcats. Cone cells, on the other hand, are responsible for color vision and detail, which are less critical for their hunting behavior.


What kinds of receptors are hair cells rod cells and cone cells to which of your senses do these cells contribute and what does each do?

Hair cells are mechanoreceptors found in the inner ear that contribute to the sense of hearing and balance. Rod cells and cone cells are photoreceptors in the retina of the eye, contributing to the sense of vision; rod cells are responsible for low-light (scotopic) vision, while cone cells enable color vision and function best in bright light. Together, these receptors play crucial roles in how we perceive sound and light.


What part of the retina where there are no light sensitive cells?

yellow spot or blind spot. it has no rod or cone photorecepter cells.


Why do most predators have a greater amount of rod cells in their eye than cone cells?

Because cone cells are activated by light, that is why our pupils get smaller and larger, to let more or less light in, where as rod cells have no need for light, and are better for seeing in the dark, wich is a valueble abilaty when you are a pretator.


Is the eye cell a cone cell?

Cone cells are a type of photoreceptor cell in the retina of the eye that are responsible for color vision and high visual acuity. Each cone cell contains different pigments that respond to different wavelengths of light. Therefore, not all eye cells are cone cells, as the retina also contains rod cells, another type of photoreceptor cell that is more sensitive to low light levels and is responsible for night vision.

How rod cells are excited?

Rod cells are excited by very low levels of light, in contrast to cone cells that are excited by higher levels of light.


What are the receptors in the eye?

You have rod cells and cone cells as receptors in your eye. Rods are for intensity of the light. Cone cells are for color vision.


What are the two sensory cells called?

The two sensory cells are rod cells and cone cells, which are located in the retina of the eye and are responsible for detecting light and color. Rod cells are more sensitive to low light conditions, while cone cells are responsible for color vision in bright light.

What are the two kinds of photoreceptor types in the retina?

The retina has two kinds of light sensitive cells, called photoreceptors, the rod and the cone cells. Rod cells are sensitive to absolute light levels (not color vision) while cone cells are used for color vision.


What part of the body has cones in it has cones in it?

The eye .In there eye there is rod cells and cone cells. Rod cells detect color and Cone cells detect black and white. The cone cells let you see in the dark.


Do owl have cone or rod cells?

No it have the cones or rod cells as we have but its size is two times bigger than us, that's why owls can see clearly in dark but not in light.
