Rods and cones are similar in that they both release glutamate as the primary neurotransmitter. During signalling the rod and cone photoreceptors signal their absorption of photons via a decrease in the release of the neurotransmitter glutamate to bipolar cells at its axon terminal. Every rod and cone photoreceptor release the same neurotransmitter, glutamate.

Deep water currents affect the number of organisms found in the area by circulating nutrients due to upwelling. Upwelling is a process where cold water surfaces and encourages nutrients to the surface. When exposed to sunlight, they initiate energy which keeps the flow of the ecosystem.
