Answer:

The cones detect the brightness and the rods the colors.

Explanation:

Thanks to a layer of photoreceptors inside the eye, it is able to convert the captured light into brain signals.

There are two types of photoreceptors: rods and cones.

Rods: they allow the human eye to have a visual acuity (the eye's ability to resolve and perceive small details in an object) and to differentiate colors.
Cones: are in charge of detecting the intensity of the light. They are very numerous and are very sensitive. Not being able to distinguish colors, they give rise to an achromatic vision.

Rods work very well in darkness/ low light. Cones process colors.

Answer: T-cells are made to identify antigens, while inflammation fights anything in the affected area

The adaptive immune cells are made of B-cell and T-cell. The function of B-cells is to produce antibodies, while T-cells will detect antigens of the pathogen. If T-cells detect an antigen from a cell, it will assume that the cells are infected. It will send a signal to the infected cells which tell them to do apoptosis. Inflammation is not specific, which makes them not strong.
