Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The human retina has two types of photoreceptors to gather light namely rods and cones. While rods are responsible for vision at low light levels, cones are responsible for vision at higher light levels.
Detailed explanation-2: -Rod and cone photoreceptors are specialized neurons that function in the initial step of vision. These light-sensitive cells lie at the back of the retina adjacent to the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), a cell layer that is vital for the survival of photoreceptors.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are 2 types of photoreceptors: rods, which detect dim light and are used for night vision, and cones, which detect different colors and require brightly lit environments.
