Rahul Kumar
The topic that Rhaul is studying is Rhodopsin Biosynthesis and Disc Formation in Rod Photoreceptor cell Description: Photoreceptor cells are a specialized type of neuron found in the retina that absorb and convert photons into electrical signals. They are essential for initiating the phototransduction cascade, which ultimately leads to visual perception. There are two types of
