The photoreceptor inside retina is the receptor of light that makes an organism capable to see. The photoreceptor consists of cone cells that can distinguish color and rod cells that can distinguish color as black and white image.

There are three kinds of cone cells, red, green and blue. The interaction of stimulus given by these 3 kinds of cone cells gives the perception of color. In color-blind patient, some of the cone cells are damaged or not formed. Losing the cone cells will cause color blind patient unable to perceive color. To have a good visual acuity, you don't need all the cone cells variety, only one kind is enough.

Answer:

1) Binds soil particles into aggregates and improves the water holding capacity of soil.

2) When carbon dioxide dissolves in seawater, most of it becomes bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions. This increase in hydrogen ions is what decreases the pH.

3) Carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases act like a blanket, absorbing IR radiation and preventing it from escaping into outer space. The net effect is the gradual heating of Earth's atmosphere and surface, a process known as global warming.

Without greenhouse gases in its atmosphere , the Earth would be much colder on average than it is now. Greenhouse gases: absorb energy transferred as infrared radiation from the Earth's surface. release infrared radiation in all directions, which keeps the Earth warm.
