The eye is a sensory organ held by an orbit that allows vision (a detection of light in a way that provides mental images of objects) and holds photoreceptors. Photoreceptors are used to absorb light energy‚ which are bent by a transparent unit called the lens. Some photoreceptors in the eye are the rod cell and cone cell. Rod cells are used in dim light for coarse images and

Fun Fact: *In the dark‚ a substance produced by the rod cells increases the sensitivity of the eye so that it is possible to detect very dim light. 2.)
