Q: Where do these quantized energy levels come from?
A: The electronic configurations of associated with bonding.
Why don’t
I see a sharp peak??

• photoreceptor cell, is a specialized type
of neuron (nerve cell) found in the eye's
retina that is capable of phototransduction.
structural change and subsequent hydrolysis triggers an enzymatic cascade, leading to closure of
cation specific channels in the plasma membrane. This blocks the influx of Na ions and leads to hyper
polarization of the membrane. This sends a signal to the synapse.
