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.

What is "synthesized" in the activation-synthesis model of dreaming?

gayaneshka [121]

In the activation-synthesis model of dreaming random neural signals from the brain stem are "synthesized". This model of dreaming <span> is a neurobiological explanation of why we dream and suggests that</span> dreaming results from the brain's attempt to make sense of neural activity that takes place during sleep. This means that even when you are sleeping, your brain is quite active.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

b. muscle fascicle

c. muscle fiber

d. myofibril and. sarcomere

Explanation:

When muscle contracts, the myosin and actin filaments slide antiparallel to one another hence shortening the distance between the adjacent Z-lines of a sarcomere (a functional unit of striated muscle). Technically, nonetheless, the filaments do not shorten. A chain of sarcomeres make up a myofibril. Myofibrils bound together in bundles around a sarcolemma make up a muscle fiber. Several muscle fibers bundled together in an endomysium make up a fascicle. Several fascicles bound together in a perimysium make up a muscle. A muscle has blood vessels and innervated nerves that serve the cells and are bound overall by an epimysium.

The blood vessels and nerves in the muscle do not contract.

icang [17]

<span>The answer is B. ecosystem. The ecosystem is an ecological system consisting of all of its biotic and abiotic factors. Biotic factors are living organisms and abiotic factors include non-living factors. So, the ecosystem includes a group of organisms and non-living factors those organisms depend on.</span>
