<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.

What conditions cause cells to break down fat molecules?
Alexeev081 [22]
Well, think of it this way.

When you do not eat that much, your body fat lowers little by little, but considering that this is a question, I'd say starvation. Think of it as when you fast (Not eating all night say to go to a doctors appointment) your body stores the fatty acids to make ketone! The ketone will build a bloodstream that flows to the brain and other parts of the body!

To sum it up, starvation.
