Las células bastoncillos y las células conos están cargadas de muchos miles de fotorreceptores individuales llamados fotopigmentos.
The rod and cone cells are studded with many thousands of individual light receptors called photopigments.
Un fotopigmento sensible al azul absorbe un fotón de luz azul y su unidad retinal reacciona cambiando su forma de torcida a recta.
A blue-sensitive photopigment absorbs a photon of blue light, and in response its retinal unit changes shape from kinked to straight.
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.
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.
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.
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.
