Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Photoreceptors are the cells in the retina that respond to light. Their distinguishing feature is the presence of large amounts of tightly packed membrane that contains the photopigment rhodopsin or a related molecule.
Detailed explanation-2: -When light hits the photoreceptor, the retinal changes shape, which activates the photopigment rhodoposin. Primates have full color vision because of the three-cone (trichromatic) system; color is a result of the ratio of activity of the three types of cones.
