  1. Which one of the following is the correct difference between Rod Cells and Cone Cells of our retina?
    1.       Rod Cells     Cone Cells
      Visual:acuity        High     Low
    2.       Rod Cells     Cone Cells
      Visual: pigment contained        Iodops      in Rhodpsin
    3.       Rod Cells     Cone Cells
      Overall: function        Vision in poor light      Colour vision and detailed vision in bright light
    4.       Rod Cells     Cone Cells
      Distribution :        More concentrated in retina      Evenly distributed all over
Correct Option: C

Rod cells is a type of light sensitive receptor cell present in the retinas of vertebrates. Rod contains the pigment rhodopsin and are essential for vision in dim light. Cone cells is a type of light sensitive receptor cell, found in retinas of all diurnal vertebrates. Cones are specialized to transmit information about colour and are responsible for the visual acuity of the eye. They function best in bright light.
