They are resistors that depend on light.

The resistance of the resistor, literally depends on how much light is flashed on it. You will generally get a graph indicating the response.

Attached is some stuff to do with the LDR and it's friends.

Source) Cheatsheet which can probably be found on VN

A reversed-biased photodiode is a similar thing to a LDR, right? The current allowed to flow will increase in both cases as the light intensity increases?

However the current flowing through the photodiode is proportional to the light intensity... Can the same be said about the LDR? :S

Hmmm... I think so, because the resistance of a photoresistor is proportional to the light intensity, hence the current flowing would be proportional to the light intensity.
