Explanation:
A photoreceptor cell is a specialized type of neuroepithelial cell found in the retina that is capable of visual phototransduction. The great biological importance of photoreceptors is that they convert light (visible electromagnetic radiation) into signals that can stimulate biological processes. To be more specific, photoreceptor proteins in the cell absorb photons, triggering a change in the cell's membrane potential...

Answer:
The photosensitive molecule is often called a visual pigment because it is highly colored owing to its ability to absorb light. The photoreceptor molecule in rods is rhodopsin (Section 15.1), which consists of the protein opsin linked to 11-cis-retinal, a prosthetic group.
