General Information
Term phototransduction, visible light ID (Ontology) GO:0007603 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The sequence of reactions within a cell required to convert absorbed photons from visible light into a molecular signal. A visible light stimulus is electromagnetic radiation that can be perceived visually by an organism; for organisms lacking a visual system, this can be defined as light with a wavelength within the range 380 to 780 nm.[ ISBN:0198506732 ]
Also Known As "visual cascade" ; "visual transduction"
