Answer:

Photons

Explanation:

The retina is a thin layer (membrane) in the eye that receives light through photoreceptor cells that convert this light into chemical and nervous signals transported to the brain's visual center.

The photoreceptors in the retina are known as rods and cones. Rods detect motion and sare responsible for black and white vision, they are present in the macula. Cones on the other and, are responsible for central and color vision. <em>These photoreceptors absorb photons that trigger the membrane's potential of the cells.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

11. Countercurrent exchange in the legs of geese
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Reduces heat lost to the water

Explanation:

In some birds such as the geese, to reduce the amount of energy cost when regulation their temperature, some morphological and behavioural has been used to maintain the rate of heat gain and loss. For uninsulated parts of the birds's body such as the legs, there is the presence to countercurrent head exchange between wherein the arteries and veins in the legs lie in close contact with each other in other to retain heat as these uninstalled regions are potential areas of heat loss since they are uninsulated unlike insulated parts (parts covered with feathers). Constriction of the arteries and veins will ensure blood flow to the feet of the geese at a low temperature.
