Answer:

a. Rods absorb light throughout the visual spectrum but confer only gray tone vision.

Explanation:

Rods and cones are the two types of photoreceptors present in the eyes. Rods are responsible for night vision or the vision in dim light. Rods do not provide color vision. Therefore, only black, white, and all shades of gray are seen in dim light.  

In complete darkness, full regeneration of cone photopigments is delayed and the eyes are adapted to the darkness first. Rhodopsin is the pigment of rods. It regenerates more slowly and can detect all the colors of the light but does not provide color vision. Therefore, irrespective of the detection of a much dimmer light, threshold flashes appear gray-white only because only the rods are functioning.

Which describes simple diffusion

Answer:

Explanation:

Have you been through airport security lately? If you have, you’ve probably noticed that it’s carefully designed to let some things in (such as passengers with tickets) and to keep others out (such as weapons, explosives, and bottled water).

In many ways, airport security is a lot like the plasma membrane of a cell. Cell membranes are selectively permeable, regulating which substances can pass through, as well as how much of each substance can enter or exit at a given time. Selective permeability is essential to cells’ ability to obtain nutrients, eliminate wastes, and maintain a stable interior environment different than that of the surroundings (maintain homeostasis).

In the process of diffusion, a substance tends to move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until its concentration becomes equal throughout a space. For example, think about someone opening a bottle of cleaning ammonia in the middle of a room. The ammonia molecules will initially be most concentrated right where the person opened the bottle, with few or no molecules at the edges of the room. Gradually, the ammonia molecules will diffuse, or spread, away from the place where they were released, and eventually you’ll be able to smell ammonia at the edges of the room. Ultimately, if the bottle is capped and the room is closed, the ammonia molecules will become evenly distributed throughout its volume.
