The nurse should assure the patient that black tongue is an expected side effect of taking that particular drug. The active ingredient in the drug contain bismuth. The tongue and the alimentary canal of humans contain trace amount of sulphur, when bismuth comes in contact with this sulphur, bismuth-sulphide will be formed. Bismuth-sulphide is an harmless by product, thus, the tongue discoloration observed in the patient is harmless.<span />

What is the role of glucose in catabolite repression? What is the role of glucose in catabolite repression?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

It decreases the levels of cAMP in the cell, repressing transcription from the lac operon.

Explanation:

When glucose is absent, cAMP serves as coactivator binds to CRP, the catabolite gene activator protein. The CRP-cAMP complex binds to the site near the lac promoter and stimulates the expression of the operon by RNA polymerase many folds.

Catabolite repression refers to inhibition of the synthesis of enzymes of lactose catabolism when glucose is present as an energy source. In the presence of glucose, synthesis of cAMP is inhibited resulting in its lower cellular concentration. The lower cAMP levels do not allow the binding of cAMP and CRP. The result is reduced expressed of lac operon.
