A certain organelle is part of the endomembrane system of a cell and looks like flattened sacs of membranes. It is often referre

d to as the "post office" of the cell because it sorts, modifies, and repackages proteins and lipids. It then ships the products in vesicles to other parts of the cell or to the plasma membrane, where they may exit the cell. However, this organelle does not participate in the synthesis of proteins and lipids. Identify this organelle.

Answer:

Golgi apparatus

Explanation:

The endomembrane system includes the nuclear envelope, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, several types of vacuoles, and the plasma membrane.

The Golgi apparatus consists of flattened membranous sacs called cisternae. They are stacked upon each other. The membrane of each cisterna in a stack maintains the unique internal space from the cytosol. Proteins and lipids formed on the ER are packed in many transport vesicles and are delivered to the Golgi apparatus.

The Golgi apparatus serves as a site for modification, and packaging of proteins and lipids. Modification of proteins in the Golgi apparatus results in the formation of several types of modified biomolecules such as glycoproteins. It serves as the site for the packaging of secreted proteins and sorting of other proteins to vacuoles and other organelles via transport vesicles. The transport vesicles carrying various biomolecules are formed in the trans face of the Golgi apparatus. These vesicles pinch off from the Golgi membrane and transport their contents to a specific destination.

If the lac repressor were altered so it could not release lactose once lactose was bound to it then you would predict that:
rodikova [14]

If the lac repressor were altered so it could not release lactose once lactose was bound to it then you would predict that " the repressor could not bind to DNA".

<u>Option:</u> A

<u>Explanation:</u>

A DNA-binding proteins prevent gene expression coding for proteins engaged in bacterial lactose metabolism is understood as the lac repressor.

Such genes are repressed if lactose is not accessible to the cell, meaning that when lactose is available, the bacterium only spends energy in the development of machinery required for the absorption and processing of lactose.

When lactose is accessible, it is transformed into allolactose, which prevents the DNA binding ability of the lac repressor and thus increases the gene expression.
