What statement is true regarding the retinal pigment epithelium?
Cells in the PE are the site of phototransduction
Cells in the PE signal between rods and bipolar cells
Cells in the PE have enzymes that convert the light-sensitive photopigments back to a useable form
Cells in the PE send their axons out of the retina
Where is rhodopsin localized in a vertebrate retinal rod? Whereis the receptor potential generated? How does the transductionmechanism of the rod connect these two sites? How does itincrease light sensitivity?

- Gary, an active 8-year-old, was playing by crawling through the underbrush in the surrounding hills while his parents were picnicking.When he returned to them he was covered in dirt and had abloody thumb, which he said had been cut by an unseen bit ofbarbed wire that had been left on the ground.They bandaged thethumb, but, while he was eating a sandwich a wasp stung him onhis injured hand! It was his first bee sting, and this event provideda tearful conclusion to the family’s outing.The next day, the painof the cut and bee sting subsided, but Gary developed a rash onhis abdomen.The family physician prescribed a cortisone cream for Gary’srash and said that antihistamines wouldn’t help the rash.The doctor told Gary’s mom not to worry about the cut, because theboy had fortunately been given a tetanus vaccine only 6 monthsearlier. However, Gary was stung by a bee two months later, and thistime developed a severe swelling.The doctor prescribed antihistamine treatment for this, which did…arrow_forwardSelect the options that properly describe the function and features of rods. A bright blue light would stimulate rods more than cones. In low light conditions rods perceive color as gray cale. sensitive to bright light conditions. Rods are sensitive to vision in low light conditions. In low light conditions rods perceive color as blue scale. Low light conditions are viewed in blue scale. O The absorbance of rhodopsin in the rods is much more sensitive than in the cone opsins. Rods are sensitive to vision in bright light conditions. sensitive to low light conditions. Rods are sensitive to low light conditions. V The absorbance of rhodopsin in the cones is much more sensitive than in the rods opsins. Rods are sensitive to bright light conditions.arrow_forwardRetinal is therefore a key player that triggers a series of activation in phototransduction (see figure below). Phototransduction in photoreceptor cells Disc membrane 1000000000…………………………. Disc lumen Light Rhodopsin GDP Transducin Photoreceptor cytosol GTP GTP GTP PDE CGMP CGMP inhibition CGMP GMP PDE6i GMP GMP Extracellular environment Plasma membrane 1. Light hits the retinal molecule and changes into an all-trans configuration 2. This change in the retinal conformation activates the rhodopsin photoreceptor 3. The rhodopsin photoreceptor then activates a specific heterotrimeric G protein called transducin. 4. The transducin then activates a downstream protein called PDE. Both PDE and the transducin G protein are attached to the plasma membrane by a lipid anchor. This makes them close to each other and facilitates the activation of PDE by the transducin G protein. The activity of the protein PDE can itself be regulated. It can for example be inhibited by a drug called PDE6i. 7. What…arrow_forward
