Answer:

False. The driving for is the partial pressure gradient of O2 (PO2 difference), not the PCO2 gradient.

However, keep in mind that an increase in PCO2 can facilitate the unbinding of oxygen from hemoglobin. This is due to a decrease in pH associated with PCO2 increase. The H+ ions bind to hemoglobin and decrease it's affinity for oxygen, this is called the bohr effect. But the PCO2 is not the main driving force of oxygen unbinding.

How does extracellular glucose inhibit transcription of the lac operon?
Genrish500 [490]

The extracellular glucose inhibit transcription of the lac operon (D) by reducing the levels of intracellular cAMP.

Lac operon is the assembly of various genes that are involved in the uptake and metabolism of lactose of E. coli or any other bacteria. It consists of a regulator gene, promoter gene, operator and structural gene. Structural genes are three: z, y and a. Each codes for a different enzyme.

cAMP is the cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate. It is produced by the bacteria when there are low levels of glucose in it. Hence it is also named as hunger signals. Therefore, cAMP is responsible for activating the operon to produce lactose.

To know more about cAMP, here
