Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rhodopsin is the chemical found in the rods of the retina that allows us to perceive light and adapt to changes in lighting conditions. As the amount of light changes, rhodopsin undergoes a chemical change that allows our eyes to adjust and perceive different levels of brightness. Serotonin, GABA, and vitreal are not directly involved in this process.
