Question

Write the names of the light sensitive pigments present in rods and cones.

Answer 1

Rods and cones:

1. The rods and cones in the retina are responsible for the sensation of sight.
2. They are the parts of the eye that transform light entering the eye into electrical impulses that can be interpreted by the brain's visual processing center.

Pigment:

1. Rods: Rhodopsin is a G-protein coupled receptor located in the retina's rod cells. It is responsible for vision in low light conditions.
2. Cones: Idopsins is found in cones of the retina. It is responsible for vision in bright light or daytime.
