Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cones are the photoreceptors involved in color perception in vertebrates, while rods are responsible for detection of light intensity and are more sensitive to low light conditions. Lamellae are flattened layers found in various structures, including the gills of fish. Rhodopsins are the pigments found in photoreceptor cells that help detect light, but they are not specific to color perception. Iridiae are structures found in the eyes of certain animals that can reflect light, but they are not photoreceptors.
