Operons are switched on/off by ____.

Biology

<u>Answer</u>: operator

Operons are the functioning units of a gene within a certain DNA segment. The operator within an operon represents a DNA segment to which an activated repressor protein binds to. When this occurs, the transcription is prevented.  

By controlling the operon, an organism is capable of regulation the expression on various genes. This is prompted by different environmental factors.

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

Operators

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <u><em>Operator is the regulatory switch which is a segment of DNA, usually positioned within the promoter. </em></u>
  • <u><em>An Operon is the entire stretch of DNA that includes the operator, the promoter, and the genes that they control.  it is a set of genes transcribed under the control of an operator gene. An operon is a functional unit of transcription and genetic regulation. </em></u>
  • The promoter is the binding site for RNA polymerase, the enzyme that performs transcription. The operator is a regulatory site bound by a repressor protein.

Why do plants supplies bacteria with amino acids ?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer: All living cells need nitrogen to make nucleic acids, proteins, and other cellular constituents. Plants absorb nitrogen and put them into amino acids and proteins. Other organisms consume the plants. As part of the major nutrients in the diet, amino acids should be particularly taken into account since they not only support the growth and survival of bacteria in the GI tract [27], but also regulate energy and protein homeostasis in organisms [28,29].

Hope this helps... stay safe and have a great weekend!!! plz mark me brainliest if i am right!!!! :D

Which substance is a nucleic acid ?
andrew-mc [135]

Your answer is RNA.

Nucleic acid can be defined as the biopolymers  which is known to be the most essential for all the life forms on the earth.

Nucleotides that are present in the nucleic acid are the monomers that is made up of 5 carbon sugar, nitogenous base, phosphate group.

If the sugar is ribose sugar then it is known as Ribonucleic acid. They are found in all the living components as the genetic material that transfers the information from parents to their children.

Eva8 [605]

Answer:

The type of vesicular transport involved in the exporting of protein-based hormones, such as insulin, into the bloodstream is regulated exocytosis.

Explanation:

In general terms, exocytosis is a type of active transport that allows intracellular substances are released to the extracellular space, through of vesicles that fuse with the plasma membrane, which allow the exit of substances from inside the cell.

Regulated exocytosis is the specific vesicular transport for the secretion of substances, such as hormones. For this type of transport to exist, the presence of an extracellular signal is required, which will activate the fusion of the vesicles.

In the case of insulin, the external signal originates with the increase in blood glucose levels, a signal that penetrates the intracellular space and generates an increase in insulin production in the islets of Langerhans (pancreas).

Before insulin secretion occurs, the cell must be depolarized, allowing calcium to enter, which promotes transport by regulated exocytosis of insulin to the extracellular space.

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

A blizzard can form when warm air combines with a high pressure system.

Explanation:

A high pressure zone is defined by cold air mass that has higher density than surrounding air mass. Therefore when a warm air current blows towards the high pressure system, the warm air mass rises over the cold air mass of the high pressure system.

The warm air begins to cool at the front between the  cold air mass and warm air mass. Usually for a blizzard to occur the cold air mass is usually below freezing point temperatures. Therefore the moisture in the warm air cools and freezes into snowflakes. This is why the winds of a blizzard are accompanied by snowflakes akin to a winter storm.
