Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The receptor cells affected by light rays contain molecules called photopigments. These molecules, such as rhodopsin found in the rods of the retina, change their structure in response to light, initiating the process of phototransduction which converts light into electrical signals that can be interpreted by the brain.
