Receptor cell that allows you to see color?

yes but photo-receptors are also further divided into two parts, i.e. rods and cones. Rods respond to the intensity of light and cones respond to colors.


Rods and cones are sensory cells that respond to light and are known functionally as?

photoreceptors


Which structure of the eye contains the photoreceptors?

no. they are called eyes. photoreceptors are cells within the eye that respond to light such as cones and rods.


Why is it difficult to perceive color in dim light?

Your retina has more than one type of cell that perceives and transmits light. Cones are cells that respond to color, but they respond best in bright light. In very dim light, the cells that respond to light are called rods, which are blind to color.


What three colors do the cones of the eye respond to?

The Blue Cone is 420nm. The Green Cone is 530nm. The Red Cone is 560nm.Marieb & Hoehn, Page 557

How are pollen cones and seed cones are different?

What do cones cells in your eye allow our eye to do?

Cones are a special type of photoreceptor cell in the retina that allow you to see brighter light than "rods" (a different type of photoreceptor cell), particularly to see color. The brain interprets the response of cones to the different wavelengths of light in order to perceive color in this way.


Are the rods in the eye important in the function of color vision?

No. They respond to light intensity, creating a silhouette black and white effect in low light.


What cone cells absorb yellow light?

There are three types of cones on the retina, which respond most strongly to either red, green, or blue light. Your brain interprets light entering your eye as a certain color (in this case yellow) based on the ratio of red, green, or blue cones which are activated by the incoming light. Yellow light would activate green and red cones.
