Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Two types of photoreceptors reside in the retina: cones and rods. The cones are responsible for daytime vision, while the rods respond under dark conditions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Rods and cones are two types of photoreceptors in the eye. Both are specialized nerves that convert light into neural impulses, but they differ in number, location, and function. Rods are more numerous, located in the periphery of the eye, and good for detecting light in general.

Detailed explanation-3: -Visual transduction is the process in the eye whereby absorption of light in the retina is translated into electrical signals that ultimately reach the brain.

Detailed explanation-4: -The main components of your vision include: Cornea: This is the front layer of your eye. The cornea is dome-shaped and it works by bending the light that enters your eye. Pupil: The pupil is the black dot in the center of your eye that acts as a gateway for light.
