If light is applied to a human eye how does it respond

Biology

The eye responds to light by closing or blinking rapidly to protect it.

Individual eye is very big. It is located within the hollow area in the skull. The eyelids serve as a protection to the front part of the eye. The lid, which is the thin layer of skin helps keep the eye clean and wet by opening and shutting many times per minutes. This is also known as blinking.  

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

For instance if light is applied your eye, the eyelids press together to protect your eye. The eyelids will squeeze firmly together until they adapt or adjust to the light. Often, the eyelids squeeze tightly to protect the eye from possible danger.  

Blinking refers to actions that involve closing and opening of the eyelids that helps to keep the eye lubricated and clean. The eyelid possesses reflexes (automatic body responses) which also protect the eye. It is assumed that individual blinks twelve times per minute.

Blinking is a voluntary action and individual can also blink their eye without thinking it. Blinking is a major function of the eye as it helps to circulate tears across and also helps to take out irritant within the surface of cornea and conjunctiva.

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Well, on one hand, this is a good thing as negative effects of the high demand for wood such as deforestation can be minimised. This will also sustain the supply of wood for several applications. However, there could be negative consequences of propagating such genetically-modified trees, which were not stated or are not yet known. For instance, the trees could be extreme soil nutrient consumers—depleting soil nutrients at a faster rate than they can be replenished and rendering such soil infertile in a short period.

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

The early Earth was very different from our Earth today.

A carbon atom can bond with other atoms in a variety of ways. Wich set of bonds would a typical carbon atom in a compound
notsponge [240]

Answer:

A carbon atom can form up to four covalent bonds as one carbon atom has four valence electrons (in outermost shell). It is a fact that the number of valence electrons in a atom determines the number of covalent bonds it will form. Thus, each electron in carbon atom is used to form four covalent bonds with various four atoms.

Explanation:

A bond between a carbon and hydrogen atom is a non-polar covalent bond. The non-polar covalent bond are the bonds between two atoms which share equal number of electron(s) with each other. Example: as in case of methane, where one carbon atom shares its 4 outer valence electrons with four hydrogens by sharing equal number of electron.

In contrast, polar covalant bond are the bonds between two atoms which share unequal number of electron(s) with each other. Thus these bonds are partially ionic.
