If we compare and contrast rods and cones, these two photoreceptor cells have some distinctions and share some similarities. The main difference between cones and rods is that cones are less sensitive to light and can provide vision in daylight, while rods are very sensitive to light and can only provide vision at night. There is also a significant difference in rods and cones regarding location, amount, and structure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
