Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that sensory receptors are specialized cells that respond to specific types of stimuli, such as light, sound, or chemicals.
Recognize that in the human eye, there are two main types of photoreceptor cells: rods and cones.
Recall that rods are primarily responsible for vision in low light conditions and do not detect color.
Know that cones are the photoreceptors responsible for detecting color and function best in bright light.
Conclude that the sensory receptors primarily responsible for color vision are the cones.
