3 0

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.

Tanya [424]

Answer:

b. a capsule

Explanation:

The capsule is mainly made up of polysaccharides and surrounds many bacteria. Capsule staining includes mixing of the bacterial cells with dye and spread out in a thin film on a slide. After air-drying, the cells appear as light-colored structures present in a relatively dark blue-black background. This occurs since the dye particles cannot penetrate either the cell or its capsule. Therefore, the given slide with a colorless ring around the cells in a dark background represents the presence of a capsule around the observed cells.

The sodium - potassium pump usually pumps
ololo11 [35]

<u>Answer</u>:

Potassium inside the cell and sodium out of the cell

<u>Explanation</u>:

The presence of the pump can be seen in plasma membrane of the animal cell. Which can be followed by the ATP, this pump pushes sodium and potassium in completely opposite direction that can be said as against the concentration gradient. In one cycle of this pump, two potassium are ingested inside the cell and three sodium are taken out from the cell. Due to  more number of negatively charged proteins inside the cell, potassium ion contains more positive charge so pushed inside the cell. The potassium  is pumped through the channels.
