In dark-adapted rod cells, a high level of cGMP keeps cGMP-gated nonselective cation channels open, leading to hyperpolarization of the plasma membrane and neurotransmitter release. 

B - Light absorption generates activated rhodopsin, R*, which binds inactive, GDP-bound Gαt protein and mediates the exchange of GDP for GTP . 

C- The free Gαt∙GTP activates PDE by binding to its inhibitory γ subunits and dissociating them from the catalytic α and β subunits . Relieved of their inhibition, the α and β subunits of PDE hydrolyze GMP to cGMP . 

D- The resulting decrease in cytosolic cGMP leads to dissociation of cGMP from the cation channels in the plasma membrane and the closing of those channels . 

E- The membrane then becomes transiently hyperpolarized, and neurotransmitter release is reduced.
