Difference between Photoreceptor protein and Rod cell

Photoreceptor protein vs. Rod cell

Photoreceptor proteins are light-sensitive proteins involved in the sensing and response to light in a variety of organisms. Rod cells are photoreceptor cells in the retina of the eye that can function in less intense light than the other type of visual photoreceptor, cone cells.

Similarities between Photoreceptor protein and Rod cell

Photoreceptor protein and Rod cell have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Cone cell, Photopigment, Photoreceptor cell, Retina, Retinal, Rhodopsin.

Cone cell

Cone cells, or cones, are one of three types of photoreceptor cells in the retina of mammalian eyes (e.g. the human eye).

Photopigment

Photopigments are unstable pigments that undergo a chemical change when they absorb light.

Photoreceptor cell

A photoreceptor cell is a specialized type of neuroepithelial cell found in the retina that is capable of visual phototransduction.

Retina

The retina is the innermost, light-sensitive "coat", or layer, of shell tissue of the eye of most vertebrates and some molluscs.
