Rods are more light sensitive compared to cones because they contain a pigment called rhodopsin that is more sensitive to low levels of light. Cones, on the other hand, contain different pigments that are less sensitive to light but are able to detect different colors.
Rods are more sensitive to light than cones.
Cones are less sensitive to light than rods.
Yes, rods are more sensitive to light than cones in the human eye.
Rods are more sensitive to light than cones, but cones are responsible for color vision. Cones are less sensitive to light but can detect different colors due to their three types that respond to different wavelengths of light.
Rods are the more sensitive, as they are used to pick up on the 'brightness' of something, and cones are used to judge the colour. This explains why all colours appear grey in dim lighting.

Yes, rods are more sensitive to light than cones in the human eye.
Rods are more sensitive to dim light and are responsible for night vision, while cones are more sensitive to color and detail in bright light. Rods contain rhodopsin pigment, which allows them to function well in low light conditions, whereas cones contain different opsins that allow them to perceive color.

Both rods and cones are light receptors. Rods are connected many to onr neuron, and are good for detecting low-light and movement, but not color. Cones are one to a neuron and detect color. Both are present in most if not all mammals and avians.

Rods: dim light and peripheral vision receptors, more sensitive to light Cones: operate in bright light and provide high acuity color vision
The retina contains two types of photoreceptor's, rods and cones. The rods are more numerous, some 120 million, and are more sensitive than the cones. However, they are not sensitive to colour.
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.
Rods and cones are two types of photoreceptor cells in the human eye. Rods are more sensitive to low light levels and are responsible for night vision, while cones are less sensitive to light but are responsible for color vision and detecting fine details. Rods are more numerous than cones and are located mainly in the peripheral retina, while cones are concentrated in the central retina. Overall, rods are better at detecting dim light, while cones are better at detecting color and detail in bright light.
Cones help see color. There are three types of cones, each sensitive to different wavelengths of light (red, green, and blue), which allow us to perceive a range of colors. Rods are more sensitive in dim light conditions and do not contribute to color vision.
