Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a rod is stimulated by light, various biochemical and physiological changes occur, including changes in neurotransmitter release, changes in the shape of retinal (a molecule within the photopigment rhodopsin), and alterations in sodium ion permeability. However, the hydrolysis of ATP is not directly involved in the phototransduction process in rods. The process primarily involves changes in the cell's membrane potential and the cascade of events leading to the conversion of light into an electrical signal, rather than direct ATP hydrolysis as a step in the activation of rods by light.
