Answer: False

Explanation:

The repression of lac operon is mediated by the catabolite activator protein (CAP). The RNA polymerase can attach to promoter site, only when CAP combined with cAMP is available. Bacteria only accumulate cAMP only when starved. But when glucose is present, cAMP is not available and so CAP-cAMP is not formed. Hence the lac structural genes is turned off in the present of glucose.

Therefore the mechanism by which glucose inhibits the expression of the lac structural genes is by catabolite repression.

Whereas the process by which lactose stimulates the expression of lac operon is by derepression/allosteric regulation. Lactose binds to the lac repressor and deactivate it by causing it to change shape so it doesn't bind to the DNA

Catastrophism is a theory that stated that earth was shaped by a suddentmassive violent events that happened within a short period of time.
Uniformitarianism, on the other hand, is a theory that stated earth was shaped by slow and gradual events over a long period of time, which could take millions of years.

Calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, is an ionic compound with a solubility product constant, Ksp, of 6.5×10–6. Calculate the solubility
kari74 [83]

Answer: The solubility of this compound in pure water is 0.012 M

Explanation:

Solubility product is defined as the equilibrium constant in which a solid ionic compound is dissolved to produce its ions in solution. It is represented as K_{sp}

The equation for the ionization of the  is given as:

Ca(OH)_2\rightarrow Ca^{2+}+2OH^-  

By stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of  Ca(OH)_2 gives 1 mole of Ca^{2+} and 2 mole of OH^-

When the solubility of  Ca(OH)_2 is S moles/liter, then the solubility of Ca^{2+}  will be S moles\liter and solubility of OH^- will be 2S moles/liter.

K_{sp}=[Ca^{2+}][OH^{-}]^2

6.5\times 10^{-6}=[S][2S]^2

S=0.012M

Thus solubility of this compound in pure water is 0.012 M

Which which characteristics determines color? A. The Measurement from crest crest. B. The highest point on the wave. C. The lowe
maria [59]

Answer:

The answer is option A

Explanation:

This is because the measure from crest to crest is also known as the wavelength, and the color of a wave always depends on its wavelength, if you see the electromagnetic spectrum

Hope this helps!

If 300.0 grams of FeCr2O7 react, how many grams of O2 will be consumed
kvv77 [185]
You are given 300 grams of FeCr2O7. You are required to get the mass of O2 in grams. The first thing to do is to find a reaction between FeCr2O7 and O2. The balanced chemical reaction is 2Fe + 6Cr + 21/2O2 -> Fe2(Cr2O7)3. The molar mass of Fe2(Cr2O7)3 is 759.65 grams per mole and 32 grams per mole for O2.  
<span>
300g Fe2(Cr2O7)3 (1 mol Fe2(Cr2O7)3/759.65 g Fe2(Cr2O7)3)(21/2 mol O2/1 mole Fe2(Cr2O7)3)(32 g O2/1 mole O2) = <u>132.7 g O2</u></span>
