Question

Like rods, cone cells are depolarized when their opsin molecules are inactive. In the case of a cone, why might it be misleading to call this a dark response?

Answer 1

The most responsive of the three different types of cones to various light wavelengths. When light is present, a cone may become entirely depolarized if the sunlight is of a wavelength that is not optimal.

What do the eye's rods and cones do?

Rods are in charge of seeing in dimly lit environments (scotopic vision). They have poor spatial acuity and do not integrate color vision. Cones are responsible for color vision, high spatial acuity, and activity under higher light levels (photopic vision).

In the eye, how many rods are there?

The total number of rods inside the human retina (91 million) is significantly higher than the total number of cones, despite the fact human perception of average daytime ambient light is dominated by cone-mediated vision (roughly 4.5 million). As a result, over the majority of the retina, rod density is substantially higher than cone density.
