Question

Is it true or false that cones are extremely sensitive to light, but they do not distinguish different colors.

Answer 1

The retina contains two types of photoreceptors, rods and cones. The rods are more numerous, some 120 million, and are more sensitive than the cones. However, they are not sensitive to color. The 6 to 7 million cones provide the eye's color sensitivity and they are much more concentrated in the central yellow spot known as the macula. In the center of that region is the " fovea centralis ", a 0.3 mm diameter rod-free area with very thin, densely packed cones

Answer 2

false

d rod cells r more sensitive tto light as compared to d cone cells. rodes r used for vision in dim light [ scotopic vision], having no ability to detect colors. whereas cones r used 4 bright light vision [photopic vision] with d ability to make colored image of d object.
