**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Photoreceptors in the Retina**: The retina contains specialized cells known as photoreceptors that are responsible for detecting light and enabling vision. 2. **Differentiate Between Rods and Cones**: There are two types of photoreceptors in the retina: - **Rods**: These cells are primarily responsible for vision in low light conditions and do not detect color. They are sensitive to dim light and are important for black and white vision. - **Cones**: These cells function in bright light conditions and are responsible for color vision. They allow us to perceive different colors. ...
