The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Vision Types**: - There are two main types of vision: scotopic vision and photopic vision. - Scotopic vision refers to vision under low light conditions, while photopic vision refers to vision under well-lit conditions. 2. **Characteristics of Scotopic Vision**: - Scotopic vision is characterized by the ability to see in black and white. - It occurs when there is insufficient light, such as in a dark room. 3. **Role of Photoreceptor Cells**: - The human eye contains two types of photoreceptor cells: rods and cones. - Rods are responsible for scotopic vision, while cones are responsible for photopic vision. 4. **Function of Rods**: - Rods are sensitive to low light levels and allow us to see in dim conditions. - They absorb light primarily in the green to blue range of the visible spectrum (approximately 490nm to 690nm). 5. **Conclusion**: - Since scotopic vision is associated with low light and is mediated by rods, the correct answer to the question is "rods". **Final Answer**: Scotopic vision is related to **rods**. ---
