Lava flows are typically finer grained (i. e. the rock is made up of smaller mineral grains) than intrusive igneous rocks because the extrusive magma cools quickly so the mineral grains do not have time to grow.

When lava comes out of a volcano and solidifies into extrusive igneous rock, the rock cools very quickly. Crystals inside solid volcanic rocks are small because they do not have much time to form until the rock cools all the way, which stops the crystal growth. Magma, called lava when molten rock erupts on the surface, cools and solidifies almost instantly when it is exposed to the relatively cool temperature of the atmosphere. Quick cooling means that mineral crystals don't have much time to grow, so these rocks have a very fine-grained or even glassy texture.

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

An amino acid activates the repressor so that the repressor binds to the operator and prevents transcription.

Explanation:

In an operon, promoter is followed by operator which is finally followed by the structural genes to be transcribed. RNA Polymerase binds to the promoter and initiates transcription. A repressor can negatively control the transcription process by binding to the operator so that the RNA Polymerase is not able to move forward and transcription is halted.

For example: in trp operon, tryptophan amino acid binds to the repressor molecule which leads to change in repressor's shape. The repressor is now able to bind to the operator and prevent transcription.
