Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the opponent-process theory, there are three pairs of color opponents: red-green, blue-yellow, and black-white. Each pair includes two colors that oppose each other, inhibiting the other's ability to be perceived. Therefore, if the red receptors are activated, the green receptors are inhibited and vice versa. This explains why individuals with red-green color blindness cannot distinguish between these two colors because the opponent pair is not functioning properly. Cones are sensitive to a range of wavelengths, but their responses are combined and compared by the opponent process system. Therefore, statement B is incorrect. Statement C is also incorrect as red and blue receptors can be stimulated simultaneously without inhibiting each other.
