Which of the following best describes the biological role of the lac operon? View Available Hint(s) Which of the following best
Verdich [7]

Answer:

It ensures that a cell dedicates resources to the production of enzymes involved in lactose metabolism only when lactose is available in the environment

Explanation:

Lac operon is also referred to as Lactose operon.This operon helps in the transport and metabolism of lactose of many enteric bacteria.

It ensures that a cell dedicates resources to the production of enzymes involved in lactose metabolism only when lactose is available in the environment

Due to the fact that it would be a total waste to produce enzymes when no lactose is available or if another preferable energy source such as glucose were available. The lac operon uses a two-part control mechanism to ensure that the cell uses energy producing the enzymes encoded by the lac operon only when necessary to avoid wastage and abnormalities.
