O Levels Biology (5090)•5090/12/O/N/24

Explanation
Eye structures that refract light onto the retina Steps:
- Identify main refractive structures in the eye: cornea and lens.
- Cornea provides initial fixed refraction of incoming light.
- Lens adjusts focus via accommodation for near/far objects.
- Confirm P as cornea and R as lens based on standard anatomy.
Why B is correct:
- Cornea (P) and lens (R) are the primary refractors that bend light rays to converge precisely on the retina, per Snell's law of refraction.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Q (likely iris) controls light entry but does not focus rays.
- C: Q (iris) and R (lens) omit cornea's essential initial refraction.
- D: Q (iris) and S (likely retina) involve detection, not focusing.
Final answer: B
