What is Rhizobium shape?

Rhizobium is a type of bacteria that usually appears as rod-shaped or elongated cells. These cells can sometimes be found in pairs or chains.


What are rod-shaped structures found in nucleus of every cell of an organism?

Chromosomes (however, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus).


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.


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 are rod-shaped cells that are found individually or in chains?

Rod shaped bacterial cells that are in chains or as individuals are called bacilli. Bacteria are classified into 5 groups according to their basic shapes: spherical (cocci), rod (bacilli), spiral (spirilla), comma (vibrio) or corkscrew (spirochetes).However the first three are considered the most basic shapes and the others are slight variations of them.

What is the light sensitive pigment found in rod cells?

The light-sensitive pigment found in rod cells is called rhodopsin. It is composed of a protein called opsin and a molecule called retinal. When light hits rhodopsin, it triggers a series of chemical reactions that lead to the generation of electrical signals in the rod cells.

Also called visual purple rhodopsin is found in the retina of the eye within the phospholipid membrane of rod cells.

What are the names of the two photo-pigments found on the retina?

The two photo-pigments found on the retina are called rhodopsin and iodopsin. Rhodopsin is found in rod cells and is responsible for night vision, while iodopsin is found in cone cells and is responsible for color 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 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.

How many rods are in the human eye?

There are roughly 120 million rod cells in the human eye. Rod cells are photoreceptor cells in the retina responsible for vision in low light conditions.


Difference between rod cell and cone cell?

Rod cells are sensitive to dim light, while cone cells help you see colors.
