Author: Joseph Baxter. Linear, quadratic and exponential functions have different graphs, equations, and characteristics. In this tutorial, compare the shape of linear, quadratic, and exponential curves on a graph, and explore how to identify a function as linear, quadratic, or exponential by examining x- and y-coordinates.

The tier of cells at the back of the retina contains the light receptors, the rods and cones. Rods, which are far more numerous than cones, are responsible for our vision in dim light and are out of commission in bright light.
The receptors are arrayed along the back of the interior of each eye, in the tissue called the retina. There are two types of cells that act as photoreceptors in the eye: ro â¦ ds and cones.Rods detect only the presence or absence of light without distinguishing between colors, thus giving black and white vision (as at night).here are two types of cells that act as photoreceptors in the eye: ro â¦ ds and cones.
