Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bright light will produce action potentials only in cones, not in rods. Rods and cones hyperpolarize in response to light. Insects and birds can see into the ultraviolet range. Invertebrate photoreceptor membranes depolarize in response to light. Rhodopsin is found in the membrane of the rods and cones.
