The photosensitive compound in the human eye is made up of:

Options

  1. AGuanosine and Retinol
  2. BOpsin and Retinal
  3. COpsin and Retinol
  4. DTransducin and Retinene

Correct answer

B. Opsin and Retinal

Step-by-step solution

Rhodopsin which is a photosensitive pigment present in the human eye is made of opsin and retinal. Rhodopsin pigment is present in rod cells which is responsible for night vision. It is also called visual purple. Hence, opsin and retinal is the correct answer.
