the fact that rod functioning predominates during dark adaptation, therefore poor acuity
Explanation:
Rods and cones are the photoreceptor cells present in the eye that perform the function of converting the light received into signals that stimulate the biological processes.
Out of the rods and cones, the rods are more sensitive and they are so sensitive that they can be activated even under low light conditions.
However the cones can be stimulated only under bright light conditions, but the visual acuity is higher for the cones as compared to the rods.
<em>Therefore under conditions of dim light, the rods are activated and hence it results in a poor visual acuity and a person experiences difficulty in reading. </em>
Cytokinesis is the final act of cell division in which the cytoplasm is divided into two daughter cells. The cytokinesis process is different between plant and animal cells, since plant cells have walls (in plants, a cell plate is formed between daughter cells)
e. Quantity of oxygen consumed when the food is burned
Explanation:
The quantity of oxygen that's used up is known as an indirect measure for amount of energy that's released from the food you burn and Bomb calorimeters may be used to estimate the amount of energy in food.
