A photoreceptor cell is a specialized type of neuroepithelial cell found in the retina that is capable of visual phototransduction. The great biological importance of photoreceptors is that they convert light (visible electromagnetic radiation) into signals that can stimulate biological processes. To be more specific, photoreceptor proteins in the cell absorb photons, triggering a change in the cell's membrane potential.There are currently three known types of photoreceptor cells in mammalian eyes: rods, cones, and photosensitive retinal ganglion cells. There are major functional differences between the rods and cones. Rods are extremely sensitive, and can be triggered by a single photon.At very low light levels, visual experience is based solely on the rod signal. This explains why colors cannot be seen at low light levels: only one type of photoreceptor cell is active.

Photoreceptor cells found in human eyes these are specialized type of neuroepithelial cell found in the retina of human eye that is capable of visual phototransduction.
three known types of photoreceptor cells in mammalian eyes: rods, cones, and photosensitive retinal ganglion cells.The rods are narrower than the cones and distributed differently across the retina,
photosensitive ganglion cells do not contribute to sight directly, but are thought to support circadian rhythms and pupillary reflex.
Rods are extremely sensitive, and can be triggered by a single photon.At very low light levels visual experience is based solely on the rod signal. This explains why colors cannot be seen at low light levels: only one type of photoreceptor cell is active.
Cones require significantly brighter light (i.e., a larger numbers of photons) in order to produce a signal. In humans, there are three different types of cone cell, distinguished by their pattern of response to different wavelengths of light. The three types of cone cell respond (roughly) to light of short, medium, and long wavelengths. The human retina contains about 120 million rod cells, and 6 million cone cells. The number and ratio of rods to cones varies among species, dependent on whether an animal is primarily diurnal or noctunal.owls, have a tremendous number of rods in their retinae. In addition, there are about 2.4 million to 3 million ganglion cells in the human visual system, 1 to 2% of them photosensitive. The axons of ganglion cells form the two optic nerves.
Photoreceptor cells are typically arranged in an irregular but approximately hexagonal grid, known as the retinal mosaic.

I don't know whom to mark as brainliest
just read the whole answer and think about it which contains more information
U mean urs
i mean just mark that answer whom YOU think which has more information r
