In this activity you experienced fatigue of the cones, the receptors on the retina responsible for color detection. What receptor do you think is responsible for adjusting from bright light to darkness (or vice versa)?

The rods are more sensitive to light while the cones are responsible for color detection. A photoreceptor is responsible for adjusting bright light to darkness or vice versa.

Step-by-step explanation:

Retina has two cells, holds the rods for seeing black and white. The cones are responsible for seeing colors and turn a picture into an electrical message for the brain.

Retina in the eye contains the receptor cells. The cone cells become fatigued after long time exposure to a colored image.

A photoreceptor is responsible for adjusting bright light to darkness or vice versa. Rods and cones are two types of photoreceptors in the human retina.
