Question

Differentiate between the rod cells and cone cells (on the basis of pigment).

Answer 1

1. Rods are in charge of seeing in low-light situations (scotopic vision). They have poor spatial acuity and do not mediate colour vision.
2. Colour vision is controlled by cones, which work best in bright environments.

Rod cells	Cone cells
Photoreceptor cells with 'Rhodopsin,' a visible purple pigment that aids in twilight vision (dim light or night vision).	Visual violet, also known as 'Iodopsin,' is a photosensitive pigment found in cone cells that aids vision in bright light.
