Chapter 44, Problem 2CQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: The structural and functional similarities in a compound and single-eyed lens found in the animal.
Introduction: The eye is an organ, which provides vision to the animals. Eye provides information to most of the animals about the surroundings of their environment. The eyes, which are present in most of the arthropods, is known as compound eyes.

What exactly is the distinction between the temporal features of the human vision system and the optical properties of the human vision system?
Contrast the structure and functioning of the compound eye of arthropods with the camera-type eye of cephalopod molluscs and vertebrates.
For each of the following, match the pattern with its description. Not all
terms will be used.
Although the eyes of the octopus and vertebrates have evolved entirely independently,
each has a retina, cornea, iris, lens, and a fluid-filled interior. These similarities of
structure, despite different origins, provide a classic example of ....
Insects and birds are far removed from one another, yet at a glance it is difficult to tell
the difference between a humming bird and a humming moth. Both are the same in
size, and both live off nectar in flowers, and hover in flight. This is a classic example
of....
The apple maggot fly once infested the fruit of a native Australian hawthorn tree. In the
1860s some maggot flies began to infest apples. They multiplied rapidly because they
were able to make use of an abundant food supply. Now there are two distinct
species, one that reproduces when the apples are ripe, and another that continues to
infest the native hawthor tree. This is an example…

- Describe two ways in which the cow eye and the human eye differ? How are these differences linked to function?arrow_forwardGiven that frogs are nearsighted in air, which statement is most likely to be true about their vision in water? (a) They are even more nearsighted; because water has a higher index of refraction than air, a frog’s ability to focus light increases in water. (b) They are less nearsighted, because the cornea is less effective at refracting light in water than in air. (c) Their vision is no different, because only structures that are internal to the eye can affect the eye’s ability to focus. (d) The images projected on the retina are no longer inverted, because the eye in water functions as a diverging lens rather than a converging lens.arrow_forwardWhat is the relationship between the periodicity scale in photonic crystals and the ability of cephalopods (cuttlefish, octopi) to use chromatic aberration for colour discrimination?arrow_forward

A) Cone cells can detect color, but rod cells cannot. B) Cone cells are more sensitive to light than rod cells are. C) Cone cells, bit not rod cells, have a visual pigment. D) Rod cells are most highly concentrated in the center of the retina. 30. What structural feature(s) contribute(s) most to the diverse adaptations for animal movement?

For example, the direction in which sensory information flows is actually opposite to the path that light takes through the retina. Explain the sequence of events involved in the movement of light and information through the structures of the eye and explain why they move in opposite directions. Compare this sequence to the functioning of the Mollusk eye.arrow_forward
- The eyes of vertebrates and cephalopods are similar in structure and function. A difference between the vertebrate eye and the cephalopod eye is that the vertebrate eye has: a. an iris surrounding the pupil, whereas in cephalopods the pupil surrounds the iris. b. a lens that changes shape when focusing, whereas in cephalopods the lens moves back and forth to focus. c. a retina that moves in the socket when recording the image, whereas in cephalopods the retina changes shape when stimulated. d. a pupil that shrinks in size in bright light, whereas cephalopods have a pupil that enlarges in bright light. e. retinal synthesized from vitamin A, whereas cephalopods lack retinal.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is (are) characteristics of the compound eyes of insects? ) ability to form clear defined images able to detect high frequency of light (high flickers of light) detect wavelengths of light in the range from red to ultraviolet (UV)arrow_forward1) When the ciliary muscle in the amniote eye contracts its diameter ______ and the tension of the zonular fibers connecting it to the lens is released.

The site and distribution of the photoreceptors is the same as in humans. Question: What might be true for Zerons vision? The images formed in the dark are sharper than those formed in light The central parts of their visual field aren't as sharp as the peripheral parts of their visual fields. They are better at forming color contrasts in images They have poor differentiation between black and whitearrow_forwardThe region of the vertebrate eye, where the optic nerve passes out of the retina, is called the(a) fovea(b) iris(c) blind spot(d) optic chaismaarrow_forward
