Multiple ________ send combined messages to a bipolar cell,whereas a single ________ may link directly to a single bipolar cell.
A) rods; cone
B) cones; rod
C) hair cells; basilar membrane
D) basilar membranes; hair cell
Bipolar Cell
A type of neuron found in the retina that acts as an intermediary between photoreceptors and ganglion cells, transmitting visual information.
Rods
Photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye that are highly sensitive to light and enable vision in low-light conditions but do not mediate color vision.
Cone
A photoreceptor cell in the retina that is responsible for color vision and functions best in relatively bright light.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Rods and cones are photoreceptor cells in the retina that send signals to bipolar cells. Rods converge onto bipolar cells, meaning multiple rods can send signals to a single bipolar cell, while cones often have a one-to-one connection with bipolar cells. The other options (B, C, and D) do not involve bipolar cells in the same way as rods and cones.
