Answer:
              The regulatory mechanism that allows E.coli to ignore lactose                           when glucose is present is controlled by Lac Operon. 

Explanation:

                    Lac operon is inducible and and normally turn off. It contain genes responsible for lactose metabolism and expressed when lactose is present and glucose is absent. 

Structure of Lac Operon:
                                          Lac operon is composed of following parts as shown in the figure:

1. Catabolic activator protein (CAP):
                                                              It acts as glucose sensor and activate transcription of operon through hunger signal (cAMP) when glucose level is low. 

2. Promoter:
                   It is binding site for RNA polymerase enzyme, that start transcription.

3. Operator:
                  It is binding site for Lac repressor protein. when there is no need of lactose repressor protein bind to promoter and stop transcription. 

4. Structural genes:
                                  This region is composed of Lac Y, Lac Z and Lac A genes. These genes are transcribed into lactose when needed. 

Regulatory mechanism 
                                    When glucose is present, no cAMP is made. CAP can't bind DNA with out cAMP, so transcription occur at only low rate or stop.

Read the following scenario to answer the following question. An abundant and continual supply of ATP is necessary for all livin
Kobotan [32]

Answer: Carbon dioxide and also bring in more oxygen for supporting the aerobic metabolism

Explanation:

 The aerobic metabolism is one of the type of process in which the body basically helps in creating the energy in our body by the process of combustion of the fats and carbohydrates in the oxygen presence.

According to the given scenario, when we doing exercise the breath become more faster and at that specific time it is very important to expel the carbon dioxide and then inhale more oxygen for supporting the aerobic metabolism in the our body system.

 Therefore, The given answer is correct.

DESCRIBE the internal anatomy of skeletal muscle, using each of the following terms: ACTIN, MYOSIN, THIN FILAMENT, THICK FILAMEN
jasenka [17]

INTERNAL ANATOMY OF SKELETAL MUSCLE : SKELETAL MUSCLE IS OTHERWISE CALLED AS STRIATED OR VOLUNTARY MUSCLE. THEIR ACTIVITIES ARE UNDER THE VOLUNTARY CONTROL OF NERVOUS SYSTEM. THEREFORE, THEY ARE KNOWN AS VOLUNTARY MUSCLES. PRIMARY FUNCTION OF THIS MUSCLE IS LOCOMOTION AND CHANGES IN BODY POSTURE.

EACH MUSCLE IS MADE UP OF NUMBER OF MUSCLE BUNDLES OR <u>FASCICLES</u>. THESE FASCICLES ARE HELD TOGETHER BY A COMMON COLLAGENOUS CONNECTIVE TISSUE LAYER CALLED FASCIA.

EACH MUSCLE IS COMPOSED OF NUMEROUS MUSCLE FIBRES AND IT IS MULTINUCLEATED, CROSS STRIATED CYLINDRICAL CELLS. IT IS MADE UP OF SARCOLEMMA OR CELL MEMBRANE ENCLOSING SARCOPLASM (CYTOPLASM) . NUMBER OF EVENLY DISTRIBUTED LONGITUDINAL THREADS CALLED <u>MYOFIBRILS</u> ARE PRESENT IN THE SARCOPLASM.

MUSCLE-FASCICULE-FIBRE-MYOFIBRILS-MYOFILAMENTS

EACH MUSCLE IS AN INDIVIDUAL CELL AND CONSISTS OF FOLLOWING PARTS.

SARCOLEMMA,  SARCOPLASM, NUCLEI,  MYOFIBRILS, MYOFILAMENTS, MITOCHONDRIA, SARCOPLASMIC RETICULUM.

SARCOLEMMA IS CELL MEMBRANE OF MUSCLE FIBRES AND SARCOPLASM IS SEMIFLUID CYTOPLASM OF MUSCLE.

NUCLEI ARE MULTIPLE IN NUMBER AND OVAL IN SHAPE, PERIPHERAL IN DISTRIBUTION BENEATH THE SARCOLEMMA.

<u>MYOFIBRILS</u> ARE CONTRACTILE UNBRANCHED THREADS SITUATED ALONG THE MUSCLE FIBRE.  IT CONSIST OF ALTERNATE A-BAND

AND I-BAND. EACH MYOFIBRILS CONSISTS OF LONGITUDINALLY ARRANGED PROTEIN FILAMENTS SUCH AS <u>THIN FILAMENT</u> CONSISTS OF <u>ACTIN,</u> TROPOMYOSIN, TROPONIN WHEREAS<u> THICK FILAMENT</u> CONSISTS OF<u> MYOSIN</u> . THESE ARE CALLED MYOFILAMENTS.

MITOCHONDRIA PROVIDES ENERGY FOR THE WORK OF  MUSCLE FIBRE.

BESIDES THE ABOVE COMPONENTS THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF SUPPORTING TISSUES WHICH HELPS IN ORGANIZATION OF SKELETAL MUSCLES. THESE ARE.

<u>ENDOMYSIUM</u> : IT IS A DELICATE SHEATH OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE WHICH COVERS EACH MUSCLE FIBRE OUTSIDE THE SARCOLEMMA.

<u>PERIMYSIUM</u> : THE MUSCLE FIBRES ARE GROUPED INTO FASCICULI EACH FASCICULUS IS COVERED BY A CONNECTIVE TISSUE SHEATH CALLED PERIMYSIUM.

<u>EPIMYSIUM</u> : THE ENTIRE MUSCLE IS COVERED BY A SHEATH OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE KNOWN AS THE EPIMYSIUM.
