Step 1

Rodes and cones are two photoreceptors present in human retina. Cones are active at higher level of light and Rodes are active at lower level of light. Cones are those photoreceptors present in human retina which are responsible for color vision in an individual. Both the photoreceptors are useful for enabling vision in an individual.
