You said that photoreceptors are normally depolarized at dark, but is that true for rod and cone? Or just for rod photoreceptor? Cus I tough that in dark, rods are depolarized, but in light cones are depolarized
Rods (scotopic vision)have protine scotopsin +cis retinal Cone (photopic vision)have iodopsin +cis retinal Baseed on the protien (opsin many types like scotopsin cynopsin photopsin) released when light fall coloue is detected
Great explanation! Thank you!
amazing explanation!!

No for both rod cones light will hyperolarise and reduce glutamate
Rods (scotopic vision)have protine scotopsin +cis retinal
Cone (photopic vision)have iodopsin +cis retinal
