The receptor cells in the retina that enable us to distinguish different wavelengths of light are called:
A)cones
B)rods
C)bipolar cells
D)ganglion cells

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cones are responsible for color vision and are sensitive to different wavelengths of light. Rods are responsible for low light vision and do not distinguish between different wavelengths. Bipolar cells and ganglion cells are involved in the processing and transmission of visual information to the brain, but not in distinguishing different wavelengths of light.
