The rod and cone cells are studded with many thousands of individual light receptors called photopigments.
Las células bastoncillos y las células conos están cargadas de muchos miles de fotorreceptores individuales llamados fotopigmentos.
A blue-sensitive photopigment absorbs a photon of blue light, and in response its retinal unit changes shape from kinked to straight.
Un fotopigmento sensible al azul absorbe un fotón de luz azul y su unidad retinal reacciona cambiando su forma de torcida a recta.
This enables the photopigment to set in train a sequence of molecular events that leads to a change in the electrical impulses in the nerve to which the cone cell is attached.
Esto permite al fotopigmento desencadenar una secuencia de sucesos a nivel molecular que provoca un cambio en los impulsos eléctricos en el nervio al que está unida la célula cono.
All photopigments contain a light-absorbing molecular unit called retinal, which has a zigzagging, smeared cloud of electrons very similar to that in the carotenoid pigments of plants.
Todos los fotopigmentos contienen una unidad molecular llamada retinal cuya función es absorber la luz y consta de una nube zigzagueante de electrones muy parecida a la de los pigmentos carotenoides de las plantas.
