**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Photoreceptor Cells**: The human eye contains photoreceptor cells that are responsible for detecting light. There are two main types of photoreceptor cells: rod cells and cone cells. 2. **Function of Rod Cells**: Rod cells are specifically adapted for vision in low-light conditions (dim light). They are more sensitive to light than cone cells, making them crucial for night vision. 3. **Pupil Response in Dim Light**: In dim light, the pupil of the eye expands (dilates) to allow more light to enter. This helps improve visibility in low-light conditions. ...
