Answer: A - Rods are more numerous than cones

Explanation: Rods are found everywhere in the retina except the fovea (a tiny pocket in the retina where just about all of the cones are located).

B. The macula lutea is another word for fovea, no rods are found there.

C. Rods are utilized in low-light conditions and are not <em>sensitive</em> to wavelengths of light.

D. Cones are responsible for perceiving color and not rods.

E. The main function of the rods is to help us see in low-light conditions (scotopic vision), so this answer would be incorrect.

Answer:

Motor nerves

Explanation:

Pulling the leg quickly from the sharp object is an example of reflex action. It includes sensory receptors, sensory neurons, interneurons, the control center (spinal cord), motor neurons and effector.

As soon as she steps on the glass piece, the receptors present in the skin of her foot sole sense it and send the information to the control center via sensory neurons. The spinal cord commands the muscles of the effector organ (leg) via motor neurons to move to step away from the glass piece.
