Question
Chapter 36.1, Problem 2R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The differences and similarities between photoreceptors and hormone receptors.
Introduction:
Signaling in plants is essential for their survival. Receptors are the medium through which plants sense cues from the environment like light, pathogen attack, and temperature. In order to coordinate the activities of the cell in response to such external stimuli, they form certain organic molecules.

Devise a cellular strategy by which hyperpolarization in rod cells could produce excitation of the visual pathway and passage of visual signals to the brain.
