Scientists are studying two different animals. One animal hunts for prey at night, while the other hunts for prey during the day. Which of the following claims about how they see light is most accurate?

• The night hunter has low sensitivity light receptors while the day hunter has high sensitivity receptors.

• The night hunter and the day hunter both have low sensitivity light receptors.

• The night hunter and the day hunter both have high sensitivity light receptors.

• The night hunter has high sensitivity light receptors while the day hunter has low sensitivity receptors.

Animals that are awake at night also need to rely some on their sight to find food. The diagram below shows how light travels to allow the animal in the picture to see the bush at night. What does the arrow in Step B represent?

• reflected light from the sun shining on the bush

• reflected light from the animal’s eyes traveling to the bush

• reflected light from the bush shining on the moon

• reflected light from the bush traveling to the animal’s eyes
