Question

what is visual pigment and Rhodopsin?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Rhodopsin, also called visual purple, pigment-containing sensory protein that converts light into an electrical signal. ... Bleaching and the subsequent regeneration of rhodopsin are major steps in the visual cycle—the series of biochemical reactions that is critical for vision in low light.

Answer 2

Answer:

Visual pigments. are the light-absorbing molecules that mediate vision. They consist of an apoprotein, opsin, covalently linked to the chromophore cis-retinal. Vision is effected through the absorption of a photon by cis-retinal which is isomerised to trans-retinal.
