An individual has 50% less than the normal number of green cone photoreceptors in his or her retina. How would this affect his or her vision? a. This person has night blindness. He or she should start to eat more carrots to replenish the stock of retinal molecules in the retina. b. This person will have difficulty adapting to varying light levels. His or her cone receptors take much longer to adapt in a brightly lit area. c. This person does not have a colour blindness because no green cone photoreceptors are in the retina; only red, yellow, and blue photoreceptors exist. d. This person has a mild green colour blindness. He or she cannot see green colours very clearly and has difficulty distinguishing colours involving green hues.arrow_forwardWhy weren't you able to successfully identify all the flavors of candy when your nose was plugged? The sensory neurons from our taste buds are routed through our olfactory epithelium before being interpreted in the brain. O Taste and smell are interpreted in the same area of the brain, so if 1 sense is not working properly, then the other sense won't work either. The flavor of food that we interpret in our brain is composed of sensory information from both our taste buds and our olfactory cells.arrow_forward
