Evaluate the following statements according to information presented in this chapter. Select True or False for each statement. T/F Most human eyes have one type of rod and three types of cones. T/F Rods are more sensitive to dim light than cones are. T/F Nocturnal animals have fewer rods than diurnal animals T/F Both rods and cones use retinal and opsins to detect light.

Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So which of the following statements about road up scene is correct. So in case you forgot road up scene is a protein that is found in the ruts of the ice and in case you forgot about this, it is a g protein coupled receptor and it is involved in photo transaction in the ruts which happens to be the same function that the rods mostly do. So this protein is very important for these rods so let's go over answer choices in order to solve this problem. Beginning by answer choice A is the most abundant protein in rod cells of the retina because it has the same function as the rods. It is definitely going to be very abundant in these structures because of this. This answer choice is correct and we will not cancel it out. Then we have answer choice C. It is a light sensitive receptor protein. We already said that it is involved in photo trans direction. So it is definitely involved with light and it is light sensitive because of this. We will not cancel it out because it is a correct answer choice. Then we have answer choice B. It is composed of retinol and obscene moloch while in fact this retinol and upside molecules are what make up these road up seen proteins because of this. This is a correct answer choice as well and we will not cancel it out since we were not able to cancel out any of the answer choices given answer choice D is going to be the correct answer choice for this problem. So thank you very much for sticking around until the end of this video, and I really hope this helped you.

In the human ear, how do different hair cells respond to different frequencies of sound? a. Waves of pressure move through the fluid in the cochlea. b. Hair cells are 'sandwiched' between membranes. c. Receptor proteins in the stereocilia of each hair cell are different; each protein responds to a certain range of frequencies. d. Because the basilar membrane varies in stiffness, it vibrates in certain places in response to certain frequencies.

Considering that sounds and odors both trigger changes in the patterns of action potentials in sensory neurons, how does the brain perceive which sense is which when the action potentials reach the brain? a. The action potentials stimulated by sounds are different in size and shape from those stimulated by odors. b. The axons from different sensory neurons go to different areas of the brain. c. Mechanoreception is not consciously perceived by the brain, whereas chemoreception is. d. Chemoreception is not consciously perceived by the brain, whereas mechanoreception is.
