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 <u>colors</u>.
  • Cones: are in charge of detecting the <u>intensity of the light</u>. They are very numerous and are very sensitive. Not being able to distinguish colors, they give rise to an achromatic vision.

Answer :

Surfactant deficiency due to undeveloped lungs (in premature infants)  suggest respiratory distress in an​ infant, but would be less likely to be observed in an​ adult beacuse in adults , lungs are fully developed and lack of surfactant is less.

Explanation:

Respiratory distress syndrome is a type of neonatal disease of respiration ,caused by deficiency of the surfactant produced by type II alveolar cells in the lungs most commonly in premature infants.

Normally , the lungs of the fetus start the formation of the surfactant during the third trimester (26 weeks through labor and delivery ) but in the premature infants , the lungs are not totally developed , hence lack of surfactant production results in the respiratory distress syndrome charactarized by inflammation of the airways due to the lack of the surface tension lowring effect of the surfactant.
