Chapter 41, Problem 6TYK
The eyes of vertebrates and cephalopods are similar in structure and function. A difference between the vertebrate eye and the cephalopod eye is that the vertebrate eye has:
a. an iris surrounding the pupil, whereas in cephalopods the pupil surrounds the iris.
b. a lens that changes shape when focusing, whereas in cephalopods the lens moves back and forth to focus.
c. a retina that moves in the socket when recording the image, whereas in cephalopods the retina changes shape when stimulated.
d. a pupil that shrinks in size in bright light, whereas cephalopods have a pupil that enlarges in bright light.
e. retinal synthesized from vitamin A, whereas cephalopods lack retinal.

Vision is a complex process. The human eye has many structures that contribute to vision. Which of the following statements describing the structures involved in the process of vision is NOT correct?
a. Ciliary muscles change the shape of the lens to focus both near and distant objects.
b. The cornea and lens bend light to focus the image on the retina.
c. The iris relaxes and contracts to protect the retina from excess light.
d. Lenses move forward or backward to control the amount of light striking the retina.
For each of the following, match the pattern with its description. Not all
terms will be used.
Although the eyes of the octopus and vertebrates have evolved entirely independently,
each has a retina, cornea, iris, lens, and a fluid-filled interior. These similarities of
structure, despite different origins, provide a classic example of ....
Insects and birds are far removed from one another, yet at a glance it is difficult to tell
the difference between a humming bird and a humming moth. Both are the same in
size, and both live off nectar in flowers, and hover in flight. This is a classic example
of....
The apple maggot fly once infested the fruit of a native Australian hawthorn tree. In the
1860s some maggot flies began to infest apples. They multiplied rapidly because they
were able to make use of an abundant food supply. Now there are two distinct
species, one that reproduces when the apples are ripe, and another that continues to
infest the native hawthor tree. This is an example…
Regarding the sensation of various species, which of the following statements is false?
A. The eyes of honeybees transduce parts of the electromagnetic spectrum that are invisible to humans
B. Bats ears transduce sound waves that humans cannot hear
C. Research has shown that the human eye transducers all of the electromagnetic spectrum to the brain, but the brain is unable to perceive it.
D. Sharks have special organs that can sense the bioelectric fields of other living things

When the tympanic membrane (ear drum) moves, their mechanoreceptors are activated to send neural impulses to the brain about the sound wave intensities (loudness) D. they equalize the pressure inside the ear to protect the delicate sensory cells inside the inner eararrow_forwardInput to the human visual cortex comes from cones and rods (by way of ganglion cells) in what proportion? a.

- Which of the following is true about infants’ visual acuity? a. Poor visual acuity early in life allows key features of the visual world to “pop out” b.Before 3 months, infants are not able to make sense of their visual world c.It’s not possible to test visual acuity before infants are 6 months d.Newborns have poor visual acuity, but excellent colour visionarrow_forwardDiscuss the evolution of the vertebrate eye.arrow_forwardColour blindness can result from the loss of specific types of cones, or it can occur in individuals having fewer cones of a given type. 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_forward
- Why do so many animals have two eyes?arrow_forwardThe 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_forwardGive the differences between the retina of frog and that of shark ?arrow_forward
