Vedclass · Answer

(D) The correct answer is $D$. In the human eye,the rods contain a photosensitive pigment known as rhodopsin. Rhodopsin is a conjugated protein composed of two parts: a protein component called opsin and a light-absorbing pigment called retinal. Retinal is an aldehyde derivative of vitamin $A$. When light strikes the rhodopsin,it causes the dissociation of retinal from opsin,which triggers the nerve impulse.
