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.

Get any one Large leaf that serves as specimen.
Make a drawing of the leaf that is half its actual size. For example, if the leaf is 20 cm long
and 10 cm wide, then your drawing must be 10 cm long and 5 cm wide and the magnification
0.5 or % the original size. Your drawing must be accurate. Measure the length and width of your leaf with a ruler and divide each measurement by 2 before you make your drawing.
A typical incandescent lightbulb emits approximately 3 x 1018 visible-light photons per second. Your eye, when it is fully dark adapted, can barely see the light from an incandescent lightbulb 10 km away. How many photons per second are incident at the image point on your retina? The diameter of a dark-adapted pupil is 6 mm.
Identify the tagma indicated by the arrow.

O True Falsearrow_forwardRabiya 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?

- Ms. Brundage buys a fancy new plant, and brings it home to replace her plastic ones. The action spectrum of the plant's leaves is found in Figure 1 below. Unfortunately it is winter and there is very little natural light. The local hardware store offers her two lighting choices: halogen light or cool white LED. After a little research, she discovers the spectrum of each type of light, as shown in Figure 2. a) Which type of light should Ms. Brundage purchase? Explain. b)The salesperson assures her that her plant most likely will be able to grow under either type of light.
