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_forward
- The function of the vertebrate eye is unusual compared with other processes found within the body. 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_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_forwardIn a short essay (100–150 words), describe three ways in which the structure of the lens of the human eye is well adapted to its function in vision.arrow_forward
