Summary Introduction
To draw: The graph depicting the distribution of rods and cones in the retina.
Concept introduction: A typical retina of a mammal contains two types of photoreceptors, the rods and the cones. The rods are present in larger number than cones. There are 125 million rods and 6 million cones in a typical retina. The cones of the retina mediate color vision while the rods mediate vision during night.

- Four research teams measured the speed at which signals travel down a certain type of nerve fiber, and what each team wrote in its team notebook is shown in the table below. Suppose a later and more reliable measurement gives 111 m/s for the signal speed in the same type of nerve fiber. Decide which of the earlier measurements was the most accurate, and which was the most precise. what was written most accurate most precise team in the notebook ? measurement measurement A "101.m/s" В "91.m/s + 5.0m/s" C "131.m/s + 2.0%" D "between 106.0m/s and 126.0m/s"arrow_forwardWhat would be the best labels for both x and y axisarrow_forwardImagine you are drawing a realistic picture that features both a helicopter and an airplane.

- An investigation was set up to determine the effect of various surfaces on the amount of time it takes a snail to move between two points. A ramp was made, covered with a piece of glass, and placed on a table at a 25-degree angle. Two lines, 15 centimeters apart, were drawn on the glass. A snail was placed on the upper line, and a stopwatch was used to measure the 2) amount of time it took the snail to move to the lower line. The results were recorded in a data table. The investigation was repeated using sandpaper and cardboard on the surface of the ramp. What must be done to show that the results of this investigation are valid? A) The ramp must be replaced with a log found in the habitat of the snail. B) The angle of the ramp must be increased to 35 degrees. C) The investigation must be repeated several times. D) The times in the data table must be averaged.arrow_forwardWrite a general statement that describes the effect light intensity will have on the rate of the light reaction.

- Rabiya and her group mates are trying to interpret the graph given below during one of their skills sessions. They had previously looked at graphs that showed absorbance plotted over different wavelengths. However, the graph below shows reflectance data (% of light reflected) measured by a STS-VIS spectrophotometer from 400 to 800nm using a regular light source. The average data from white leaves is represented by the dashed red line and average data from green leaves is represented by the solid black line. Obviously, the white leaves do not have the same amount of chlorophyll as green leaves. Note the wavelengths for each color: blue (400-490 nm), green (500-570 nm) and red (640-700 nm). 50 40 10 400 500 600 700 800 Wavelenght (nm) What can be inferred correctly from the reflectance spectrum shown above? O A. White leaves show higher reflectance of green light than green leaves. O B. Green leaves with chlorophyll reflect more light at 500-570nm. O C.
