<span>To break a protein down into its amino acids you will need enzymes. Enzymes are biological molecules (proteins) that act as catalysts and help complex reactions occur everywhere in life. Let's say you ate a piece of meat. Proteases would go to work and help break down the peptide bonds between the amino acids.

Many mutations have been identified in the lac operon. A particular mutation in the CRP gene make the CRP protein bind to the Pl
maksim [4K]

Answer:

a. + glucose, + lactose  = On

b. - glucose, - lactose  = Off

c. + glucose, - lactose  = Off

d. - glucose, + lactose = On

Explanation:

Lac operon has both types of control, repressible and inducible.

Whenever glucose level is low in the cell, an enzyme known as adenylyl cyclase raises the level of cAMP which forms a dimer with CRP protein and they both act as activator of lac operon and cause expression.

Apart from this, when lactose is present in the cell, β-galactosidase enzyme metabolizes lactose to form allolactose which causes allosteric repulsion in the lac repressor and causes its removal from the operator. As soon as repressor is removed lac operon gets activated.

In wild type lac operons, the expression of lac operon occurs when glucose level is low in the cell and lactose is present but in this mutant presence or absence of glucose will not make a difference because CRP will bind Plac promoter independent of cAMP level i.e. activator CRP will work even in high glucose concentration. If lactose is present then lac operon will always express so in option 'a & d' lac operon will express but in option 'b & c' it will not express.

If your body is capable of making only certain amino acids, how do we get the essential amino acids we need?
Gelneren [198K]
Essential amino acids cannot be made by the body. As a result, they must come from food. The 9 essential amino acids are: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.

Which of the following is the best example of a way human lifestyles affect environmental systems? (2 points)
olga55 [171]

A, B, and C make no sense

A makes no sense because Methane is lighter than air, and so the Methane would stay higher in the atmosphere, so it would not seep into the ground, it would remain in the air.

B makes no sense because Burning fossil fuels causes air pollution by increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. the only way that carbon dioxide could pollute water is if it is combined on a molecular level, plus carbon dioxide does not inhibit the process of water being evaporated by the sun.

C also makes no sense because Deforestation causes acid rain by increasing carbon dioxide not decreasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

so therefore by elimination your answer is D

ira [324]

Answer:

the correct order of events in the nutritional processing of this food is ingestion- digestion- absorption- egestion.

Explanation:

1.) Ingestion involves taking food, drink, or another substance into the body by swallowing to aid in digestion.

2.) Digestion involves the breakdown of large insoluble food molecules into small water-soluble food molecules so that they can be absorbed into the watery blood plasma.

3.)Absorption involves the in take of the digested food into the bloodstream

4.) Egestion involves the removal of undigested food substance from the body.
