Answer 1

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The two types of photoreceptors that you see in the eye are the rods and cones. Rods have a visual pigment called rhodopsin and cones have photopsins. Rod cells are highly sensitive to light and function in nightvision, whereas cone cells are responsible for colour vision.
