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.

Jack was sick with a cold and fever. the doctor prescribed him erythromycin, an antibiotic. analyzing the process of translation
KatRina [158]

Answer:

This is because it is a selective antibiotic that, when entering the body, binds to the 50s subunit of bacterial ribosomes, thus causing the disruption of protein transcription of bacteria.

This drug does not stop the transcription of human proteins since bacteria and humans do not have the same ribosomes, therefore, humans or sick cells do not have the active site to which the drug binds.

Explanation:

This is because it is a selective antibiotic that, when entering the body, binds to the 50s subunit of bacterial ribosomes, thus causing the disruption of protein transcription of bacteria.

This drug does not stop the transcription of human proteins since bacteria and humans do not have the same ribosomes, therefore humans or host cells do not have the active site to which the drug binds.

Erythromycin falls into the macrolide family and is considered a drug that is bacteriostatic at low concentrations and bactericidal at very high concentrations.

The difference between these named terms is that one ends the life of the bacterium (bactericidal) and the other stops the bacterial metabolism preventing its possibility of increasing in number.
