Photoreceptors are responsible for visual phototransduction. They convert light into biological signals. In humans, rods, cone, and retinal ganglion cells are the 3 main photoreceptors.
Rods are narrow and are present throughout the retina. They are very sensitive, They can be triggered by a single photon also. They are responsible for the visuals we get in the low-light conditions.
Cons need a high number of photons, in order to produce signals. They are responsible for visualization of colors. 
Rhodopsin is the pigment molecule of the rod cells. It is very sensitive to the light, and enables visualization in dim lights.

As was shown in the chart title, we can see that the chart will present the demand for microwave oven and what is the relationship between this demand and the price of the product, since the amount of demand is in the x axis and the amount of the price is on the axis y. As we can see, the graph has a negative slope, which links the values of demand and price in an inversely proportional way. This shows that the amount of demand changes slightly with the price, and as the price increases, demand decreases.
