Homework Answers

Answer #1

Ans:- e) A ,B ,and C are correct.

concept:-

rods are photosensitive pigments which can detect even very minute amount of light , so they are important for night vision.

so option a is correct.

fovea centralis have high density of cons so they have max visiual aquity. So option b is correct .

Both rods and cones are sensitive to light. The difference between them is that the rods allow us to see in very dim light but don't permit detection of color, while the cones let us see color but they don't work in dim light. When it gets dark the cones lose their ability to respond to light

so option c is also correct.
