Bleaching is the breakdown of rhodopsin and iodopsin when exposed to light, requiring resynthesis using ATP from mitochondria to regain their light-sensitive capabilities.
- break down of rhodopsin and iodopsin in response to light - must be resynthesised using ATP from mitochondria to be restimulated
