Question

Jane is having trouble sleeping. As she sits on her bed looking around the dark room, she notices that her peripheral vision seems to be better than her central vision. this is because vision in low light conditions:___________.a. depends on the rodsb. depends on the conesc. doesn't require the use of the pupild. d. doesn't require the retina

Answer 1

Answer:  a) depends on the rods

Explanation:

Rod cells are the photoreceptor cell that are present in outward edge of retina. It helps in seeing things in low or dim light or darkness by peripheral vision.

According to the question,Jane is able to analyze that her peripheral vision is better at night time due to presents of rod cell in eye which help in photoreception in dim light as compared to central vision.

Other options are incorrect because vision in dim light is not dependent on retina,pupil or cones. Thus, the correct option is option(a).
