Answer: Here is the option.

A. The inducer combines with the repressor and causes the repressor to bind to DNA

B. The inducer combines with the repressor and causes the repressor to dissociate DNA

C. The inducer combines with the substrate and blocks induction

D. The inducer combines with the substrate and activates induction

E. The inducer does not combine with repressor but functions as a chaperone molecule for the enzyme-substrate complex

The correct option is C.

The inducer combines with the substrate and blocks induction

Explanation:

Enzymes inducers are drugs or enzymes that Induces or bring out the activity of enzymes been expressed.

This drug increases the metabolic activity of an enzyme either it binded to the enzymes or in a away cause an increase gene code of an enzyme to be expressed.

When an inducer is added to a medium containing an organism with metabolic pathway controller by a repressor it will combine with the repressor and block induction because an enzyme repressor regulate enzyme activity in a negative way by reducing it's synthesis rate.

Can bottled water go bad? (NEED A PARAGRAPH PLZ) **20 points**

Fantom [35]

Answer:

No, bottled water cannot go bad.

Explanation:

It is impossible for any sort of water to "expire". But, when in the bottle for to long, the plastic does become dangerous. The bottle begins to leak chemicals into the water. This doesn't make the water toxic, but it can alter the taste of your water.

jok3333 [9.3K]

The two main types of fermentation are alcoholic fermentation and lactic acid fermentation. In an alcoholic fermentation, the main product of this process is ethyl alcohol. Lactic acid on the other hand has lactic acid as its main product. When muscle cells run out of oxygen, lactic acid fermentation would commonly take place.

Sodium ions, oxygen (O2), and glucose pass directly through lipid bilayers at dramatically different rates. Which of the followi

Elodia [21]

Answer:

The correct order, from fastest to slowest, for the passage of molecules and ions through the cell membrane is oxygen, sodium ions, glucose (option D).

Explanation:

The plasma membrane is a lipid bilayer, with glycoproteins and membrane proteins, which constitutes a semi-permeable barrier to the passage of substances into and out of the cell.

The speed with which a substance can pass through the membrane depends on its chemical properties -hydrophilic substances pass through with greater difficulty than lipophilic ones- requiring in some cases specialized transport mechanisms. The different rates with which a substance passes depends on this.

Oxygen (O₂) passes through simple diffusion, depending on a concentration gradient. It's the molecule that passes through the membrane the fastest.
In second place, there would be the Na⁺ ions -charged atoms- that cross the membrane by facilitated diffusion, through specific ionic channels.
The glucose molecule, being larger, requires the use of transport proteins, being its passage through the membrane slower with respect to oxygen or sodium.

Undoubtedly, molecular weight and affinity for the plasma membrane are determining factors for the passage of molecules through the lipid bilayer.
