Multiple Choice

True or False: if false, choose the answer that corrects the statement.

Waves of light must pass through both the ganglion and pigmented cells before reaching the photoreceptors.

True.

False, light reaches the photoreceptors first.

False, light must pass through the ganglion cells, but not the pigmented cells.

False, light must pass through the pigmented cells, but not the ganglion cells.

Verified step by step guidance

Understand the anatomy of the eye, specifically the layers of the retina. The retina is composed of several layers, including the ganglion cell layer, the bipolar cell layer, and the photoreceptor layer.

Recognize the path of light as it enters the eye. Light first passes through the cornea and lens, then travels through the vitreous humor before reaching the retina.

Identify the sequence of layers in the retina that light must pass through. Light first encounters the ganglion cells, then the bipolar cells, and finally reaches the photoreceptors.

Clarify the role of pigmented cells. The pigmented epithelium is located behind the photoreceptors and serves to absorb excess light and prevent reflection, but light does not pass through these cells before reaching the photoreceptors.

Conclude that the statement is false because light must pass through the ganglion cells before reaching the photoreceptors, but it does not pass through the pigmented cells first.
