Location and protection
• Located in the orbits.
• Protection – bony ridges of the orbit and eye lids
• Lachrymal gland.• Conjunctiva.

Rods and cones• Transducers and are
sensitive to different light stimuli.
• Rods - _____ light intensity.
Pigment - rhodopsin• Cones - ___, ___, &
_____ light.Pigment – iodopsin.

Rods• Evenly distribution.• Rhodopsin is found
in the outer segment – the lamellea.
• Mitochondria is needed for the resynthesis of rhodopsin.

Rhodopsin
• Made from opsin (a protein) and retinal (derived from Vit A).
• Retinal – cis and trans form. In light it changes to the trans form.
• A generator potential forms – hyperpolarisation.• Na is pumped and the membrane becomes less
permeable so Na can’t re-enter (-ve charge).
• Rhodopsin breaks down quickly, but time some time to resynthesis. The cells are bleached.

Cones - colour• Fewer vesicles.• Contain iodopsin (3 forms) –
trichromatic theory.• Higher concentration around
fovea.• Different synapse structure.

Detecting light in plants
• Phytochrome pigment
