Rods

Question

Rods
A) are concentrated in the macula lutea.
B) detect red, yellow, and blue colors.
C) are concerned with night vision.
D) are located in the occipital lobe.

Accepted Answer

Rods are photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye that are responsible for vision in low light conditions (night vision). They are more sensitive to light than cones (which detect color) but do not distinguish between different wavelengths of light (colors). The macula lutea, located in the center of the retina, is a region with a high concentration of cones, but also contains some rods. The occipital lobe of the brain is responsible for processing visual information, but does not contain photoreceptor cells such as rods or cones.
