Question
Why do cats' eyes glow in the dark? Braidee Foote
Which TWO quotations best identify the benefits of animals' ability to see in the dark?
A. "Species whose eyes glow have changed over time to see better in low light because they either forage for food or need to look out for predators throughout the night" (Paragraph 2)
B. "In fact, domesticated cats can see in conditions that are only 16% as bright as what people require." (Paragraph 2)
C. "And a cat's pupils can become up to 50% larger than human pupils in dim light. They also have a higher number of a specific type of light-sensing cell in the back of their eyes than we do." (Paragraph 3)
D. "A cat's tapetum lucidum is made up of cells with crystals that, like a mirror, reflect light back to the retina. This gives the retina a second chance to absorb more light." (Paragraph 6)
E. "The tapetum lucidum is also useful to fish, dolphins, and other aquatic animals because it helps them see better in murky, dark water." (Paragraph 10)
F. "Like cats, the lemur, and its close relative the bush baby — also known as a 'night monkey' — have a super-reflective tapetum made with riboflavin." (Paragraph 12)

The two quotations that best identify the benefits of animals' ability to see in the dark are:
A. "Species whose eyes glow have changed over time to see better in low light because they either forage for food or need to look out for predators throughout the night" (Paragraph 2)
E. "The tapetum lucidum is also useful to fish, dolphins, and other aquatic animals because it helps them see better in murky, dark water." (Paragraph 10)
These quotations highlight how the adaptations for seeing in low light conditions allow these animals to effectively forage for food and avoid predators, as well as how similar adaptations benefit other species in dark environments.
