_________ is a conjugated protein present in rods.
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Rhodopsin is a conjugated protein present in rods. Rhodopsin is a light-sensitive protein found in the retina of the eye, specifically in the rod cells. It plays a crucial role in the process of vision by capturing light and initiating the visual signal transduction pathway. Rhodopsin consists of a protein component called opsin and a light-absorbing molecule called retinal. Together, they form a complex that undergoes a conformational change upon absorbing light, triggering a series of biochemical reactions that ultimately result in the perception of light.
