Question

In the photo excitation of the cis to trans conversion in retinal, what is the energy from the photon ultimately used for? View Available Hint(s) O This process ends in stored energy via a translocation of a hydroxide ion across the cell membrane. The process stores this energy in the form of charge separation between the Schiff base and amino acid of opsin. Pumping Na+; ions to amplify the photo signal into an electrical signal The photon is absorbed and the system gives off an electron via the photoelectric effect. O O Submit

Explanation / Answer

in the photo excitation of the cis to trans conversion in retinal, the energy from photon is ultimately used for charge separation between schiff base and the counter amino acid of opsin (Asp85)
