How do the rods and cones in the eye differ?

2 answers:

8 0

Rods and cones are photoreceptors that are located in the retina of the eye. Rods are responsible for vision at low light levels while cones are responsible for vision at higher light levels. Therefore, rods are very sensitive to light. Rods work well at night when light is low. Cones, however, are responsible for color vision and high visual spatial acuity. Therefore, rods cannot distinguish colors. With these differences, the correct answer is:
A. Rods are very sensitive to light but do not distinguish colors.

Answer:

film sensitive to radiation that is removed and developed to measure exposure.

a device used for monitoring individual cumulative exposure to ionizing radiation.

Explanation:

Film badges are monitoring devices that contain photographic film which measures and record the wearer’s exposure to different ionizing radiation such as X-rays, gamma rays and beta particles. The photographic film within film badges is very sensitive, functions as a detector, and is enclosed in a vapor and light resistance cover which disallows chemical vapors, light or moisture to have an effect on the film. Film badges give a lasting radiation record and it can also differentiate between different energies of photons.

For most terrestrial ecosystems, pyramids of numbers, biomass, and energy are essentially the same-they have a broad base and a

GaryK [48]

Answer:

b. at each step, energy is lost from the system as a result of keeping the organisms alive

Explanation:

Generally Ecological pyramids helps to visualise the structure of Ecosystem.Its diagrammatically showed the relative amounts of numbers of organisms ,their energy, and the amount of energy that is converted in living tissue as usable mass (biomass) at different tropic levels.

Basically, large amount of energy is lost as energy flow from one tropic level to another in an ecosystem. This can be explained with the second law of thermodynamics; which states that in the conversion of energy from one form to another in a system, there is always a tendency towards disorderliness.That is the entropy changes of the universe can never be negative.Relatively in a biological system, this means that energy is lost in metabolic process( glycolysis, chemeosmosis, assimilation, growth .......) as heat, as organisms at one tropic level is consumed by another at the next level, from the base to the peak of these pyramids.

The amount of energy transfer efficiency among the two successive tropic levels is obtained by dividing the energy transfer at present tropic level with the energy transfer at previous tropic levels and mutiply the results by 100% . This known as Tropic level transfer efficiency(TLTE) .

The lower energy efficiency between successful present and previous tropic levels in these pyramids accounts for the similarities.
