Even though the rods cannot recognize color, they still respond with different sensitivity to various wavelengths.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rods, while not responsible for color vision, are sensitive to different wavelengths of light, primarily responding more to shorter wavelengths (blue-green light) than to longer wavelengths (red light). This sensitivity variation allows them to contribute to our perception of light intensity and motion in low-light conditions.
