Explanation:

B) it is capable of amino acid production.

Proteins are structural support molecules comprised of long chains of amino acids joined via peptide (CONH) bonds; these are 20 specific units that are arranged into several macromolecules. Amino acids are absorbed through digestion and are incorporated into the body’s cells to make up organs muscles signal molecules and an alternative energy source.

Basic makeup: C, H, O, N, S; polar C, O double bonds and N-H bonding

Glucose is the favored source of carbon (over others like xylose) for many organisms as it can be immediately processed for energy generation in cellular metabolic processes like respiration. This energy produced in the form of ATP is used for other reactions involved in growth and development. These include the urea and citric acid cycle where all amino acids (except eight) are produced as reaction byproducts.

Usatestprep--According to the model, what is the role of maltose in the maltose operon?

allsm [11]

Answer:

Inducer

Explanation:

Structural proteins within bacteria are encoded along with their functions. These are typically found in a block of genes called an operon. They undergo transcription together with the use of a single promoter sequence to form a polycystronic transcript- this allows for the simultaneous control and regulation of biochemical pathways. This is efficient as these pathways would either need to function together when "switched on" or will not be needed when "switched off". Repressors are proteins that effectively hinder translation by binding to DNA at the operator site, blocking the activity of RNA polymerase in transcription. However inducers are small molecules that can displace these, freeing up the operon for transcription and the activation of relevant biochemical pathways.

The mal operon includes genes which mediate the breakdown of the substrate maltose in bacterial cells. Maltose, called a malt sugar, is a carbohydrate compound made up of two glucose molecules joined by an α-(1,4) glycosidic linkage.

In the presence of maltose, the inducer binds to the activator. This then allows for the binding of RNA polymerase, which facilitates translation and th epr
