Rhodopsin is a substance that ceases functioning under heavy light but is regenerated in darkness. The eye cannot see clearly in dim light unless sufficient rhodopsin is produced in the eye.

Do rods contain the photopigment rhodopsin?

Yes, rods contain the photopigment rhodopsin which is sensitive to low light levels. Rhodopsin is composed of a protein called opsin and a light-sensitive molecule called retinal. When rhodopsin is exposed to light, it undergoes a chemical reaction that leads to the generation of electrical signals in the rods, initiating the visual process.
