Phototransduction

Rhodopsin is densely packed in the ( disk membranes, inner segment ) of rods. It consists of the protein opsin and the light-absorbing part ( retinal, retinol, metarhodopsin ).
In the dark retinal is in the ( 11-cis, all-trans ) configuration but absorption of a photon causes a flip to the ( all-trans, 11-cis ) configuration.
This causes a change in the opsin to an ( activated, inactivated ) state called ( metarhodopsin II, metarhodopsin, rhodopsin II ).

Metarhodopsin II can then activate ( hundreds of molecules, exactly one molecule ) called transducin. Transducin in turn ( activates, deactivates ) phosphodiesterase which hydrolizes cGMP and leads to ( a decrease, an increase ) of the cGMP level.
PDE hydrolizes ( more than 1000 cGMP, approximately 1 cGMP ) per second.

This causes the Na+ and Ca2+ channels to ( close, open ) and a sharp ( decrease, increase ) in glutamate release.

The metarhodopsin II splits within minutes to opsin and free ( all-trans retinal, 11-cis retinal ). This is either directly transformed back to 11-cis retinal of first reduced to all-trans-retinol, then to 11-cis retinol and then back to 11-cis retinal.
This happens in ( the retinal pigment epithelium, the outer plexiform layer, the inner plexiform layer, Bruch's membrane, the outer nuclear layer, the inner nuclear layer ).

Termination of the phototransduction cascade:

Rhodopsin-kinase ( phosphorylates, hydrolates ) metarhodopsin, which then binds arrestin that blocks the interaction with ( transducin, phosphodiesterase, cGMP ) (( GDP-GTP, GMP-GDP ) exchange).
