PLEASE ANSWER ONLY QUESTION G.
1. (50) The pigment-protein complex rhodopsin is found in your retina and is responsible for your sensitive night vision. The active pigment is 11-cis retinal, which undergoes a cis-trans isomerization reaction upon absorption of a photon. cis trants hv All-trans-retinal (attached to opsin, R) 11-cis-retinal (attached to opsin, R) You are measuring this isomerization reaction of the 11-cis retinal in the absence of a photon and obtain the following data shown below. -25 -27 In k1 -Linear (In k1) -29 -31 -33 In k -35 -37 -39 y = -21050x + 30.3 -41 -43 0.0028 0.0029 0.003 0.0031 0.0032 0.0033 0.0034 1/T a.
