- 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.arrow_forwardLike other nocturnal carnivores, the ferret shown in FIGURE 33.13 has light-reflecting material in its choroid. Explain why the presence of reflective material in this layer of the eye maximizes the degree to which light excites photoreceptors. Explain also why having reflective material in this layer causes the perceived image to be somewhat blurry.

- The four-eyed fish, Anableps anableps, really has only two eyes, which function as four, enabling the fish to see clearly through both air and water. A. anableps is a surface feeder, so the ability to see above water helps it locate prey such as insects. Its unique eyes also enable it to scan simultaneously for predators attacking from above (such as birds) or below (such as other fish).
