Final answer:

The components of rod cells in the retina include rhodopsin embedded in disks, inner and outer segments, and synaptic vesicles. Stereocilia are not part of the rod cells and B, G, and R pigments are associated with cone cells, not rods.

Step-by-step explanation:

Components of rod cells in the retina include rhodopsin embedded in disks, inner and outer segments, and synaptic vesicles. The correct options from the list provided are:

  • Rhodopsin embedded in disks
  • Inner and outer segments
  • Synaptic vesicles

Option d., stereocilia, is not a component of rod cells, as they are related to hair cells in the ear and not to retinal photoreceptors. Option e., B, G, and R pigments, refers to the three cone photopigments found in cone cells and not in rod cells, which contain the pigment rhodopsin that is sensitive to light but does not distinguish colors.
