explain the cycle of retinal (four steps)
1 In dark cis retinal - bent shape - fits into opsin
2 Absorbs phoron - isomeriation - change in shape - become straight - trans-retinal
Transretinal sperates form opsin - bleaching
3. In dark retinal isomerase converts
trans to cis-retinal
4. Cis-retinal binds to opsin
Regenerates photopigment
