T/F: Photoreceptors and bipolar cells are neurons.

Photoreceptors are (depolarized/ hyperpolarized) by light.

T/F: Photoreceptors follow a all-or-none hyperpolarization.

When it is dark, ____ and ____ ions can flow into the rods due to presenting ______.

In the light, cGMP is reduced _______ and ______ flow is blocked, pushing the rod into a ________ state.

The discs in the rods contain light sensitive proteins _______, which start a cascade that (closes/opens) the sodium/calcium channel.

What happens at the molecular level on opsin?
