The cubic kilometer is a metric unit of volume equal to 1,000,000,000 cubic meters. The symbol of the cubic kilometer is kmÂ³ . km3 = 1,000,000,000 m3 = 109 m3. To convert cubic kilometers to hmÂ³, damÂ³, mÂ³, dmÂ³, cmÂ³ and mmÂ³ , multiply by one followed by as many trios of zeros as there are places between the cubic kilometer and the other unit.
Rod photoreceptors are very sensitive to light and are responsible for night vision. These are the most abundant cell type in the human retina and are located closest to the back of the eye, near the retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE).
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 nocturnal. Certain owls, such as the tawny owl, have a tremendous number of rods in their retinae.he rods are narrower than the cones and distributed differently across the retina, but the chemical process in each that supports phototransduction is similar. A third class of photoreceptor cells was discovered during the 1990s: the photosensitive ganglion cells.
