Which one of the following is the correct difference between Rod Cells and Cone Cells of our retina?

Options

(a) Visual acuity: High Low
(b) Visual pigment: Iodopsin Rhodpsin
(c) Overall function: Vision in poor light Colour vision and detailed vision in bright light
(d) Distribution: More concentrated in retina Evenly distributed all over

Correct Answer:

Overall function: Vision in poor light Colour vision and detailed vision in bright light

Explanation:

Rod cells is a type of light sensitive receptor cell present in the retinas of vertebrates. ROd contains the pigment rhodopsin and are essential for vision in dim light.
Cone cells is a type of light sensitive receptor cell, found in retinas of all diurnal vertebrates. Cones are specialized to transmit information about colour and are responsible for the visula acuity of the eye. They function best in bright light.
