The figure below shows the processes that occur during vision. Answer the following questions with regards to this figure and the signal cascade triggered by adrenaline through the B-adrenergic receptor. The light receptor rhodopsin (Rh) has an analogous structure to the B-adrenergic receptor therefore this receptor should be O A a GPCR. O B. a ligand-gated ion channel. oca B-barrel protein. a tyrosine kinase with two subunits that dimerize. O E a globular protein.
