Light energy triggers a chemical reaction that sparks neural signals in ________,which then activate ________.
A) ganglion cells;bipolar cells
B) bipolar cells;ganglion cells
C) the optic nerve;rods
D) rods;cones

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Light energy first activates the photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) in the retina, which then activate the bipolar cells. The bipolar cells then transmit signals to the ganglion cells, which eventually send the neural signals to the brain via the optic nerve. Therefore, the correct sequence is photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) -> bipolar cells -> ganglion cells. Choice B correctly reflects this sequence.
