Why does a nocturnal animal's vision often appear 'washed out' or blurry in bright daylight?

Its receptors have low sensitivity and require darkness.

Its receptors are too sensitive and become overwhelmed.

The pupils cannot constrict enough to block out the excess light.

It can only see in black and white, which blurs in the sun.

An owl (nocturnal) and an eagle (diurnal) are both in a room with very dim lighting. Which statement most accurately describes their likely visual experience?

The eagle's low-sensitivity receptors will allow it to see better than the owl.

The owl will be able to form a clearer image than the eagle.

Both animals will be effectively blind because the light is not bright sunlight.

Both animals will see equally well, as their eyes will adjust at the same rate.

The ability to see color comes at the cost of seeing in black and white.

Sensitivity to dim light is balanced against tolerance for bright light.

Having a wide field of view means sacrificing sharp, focused central vision.

The physical size of the eye determines the speed of visual processing.

They will have very high sensitivity.

They will have very low sensitivity.

They will be adapted for bright, sunlit surface waters.

They will be non-functional, as there is no light.

When its receptors are stimulated to their maximum possible level.

Only when the animal is in an environment of complete and total darkness.

When the environmental light level matches its receptor sensitivity.

Only when the animal is exposed to the brightest possible natural sunlight.
