1. Suppose the synthesis of an amino acid was accomplished by four enzymes encoded by four genes that formed an operon. Draw a m

odel of the operon showing how it could be controlled by negative regulation both at the level of transcription initiation and elongation via attenuation.

I have attached lac operon model having 4 genes. See attachment for better understanding.

Answer:

The Lac operon is controlled  by two signals.

Initiation

Glucose and lactose  concentrations control the initiation of  transcription of the Lac operon through  their effects on the Lac repressor protein  and Cap.

Lactose absent (Repression)

When lactose is absent, the Lac  repressor binds the Lac operator and shuts  off expression of the operon.

Lactose present (Transcription)

Addition  of lactose increases the intracellular  concentration of a related compound,  allolactose. allolactose binds to the  Lac repressor, causing it to undergo a  conformational change that releases its grip  on the operator DNa.

Glucose absent (Repression)

When  glucose is absent, cyclic aMp (red triangle)  is produced by the cell and Cap binds to  DNA.

Glucose present (Transcription)

LacZ, the first gene of the operon,  encodes the enzyme b-galactosidase, which  breaks down lactose to galactose and  glucose.

Animal cells have plasma membrane while plant cells have cell wall and cell membrane. A plant cell has 1 large vacuole while an animal cell has more than 1 vacuole which is smaller compared to the vacuoles of a plant cell. The vacuole of a plant cell is hypertonic because it takes up to 90% of the cells volume. A plant cell has chlorophyll or chloroplasts (which gives colors to plants), animal cells does not have chloroplasts. Cell division is also called mitosis (this term is used for both animal and plant cells, no difference on that). For plant cells, centrifugal division occurs, its starts in the middle going outwards creating the cell plate. For animal cells, division is centripetal that it comes from the outside going toward the center and that is called the cleavage furrow.

The primary producers in an ocean grazing food web are usually ________.
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

phytoplankton

Explanation:

Phytoplankton can be defined as a set of photosynthesizing microorganisms that live floating on the water surface. It is composed of microscopic algae and cyanobacteria, which can be unicellular, colonial or filamentous. These microorganisms are defined as the primary producers of an ocean grazing food network.

Because phytoplankton live in aquatic environments - both in limic (eg lakes) and marine environments - they have a number of adaptations that guarantee their survival in the water column.  Some of these microorganisms, for example, have flagella that aid locomotion; others, in turn, have gas vacuoles that aid in flotation, while some of them have mucilage, which surrounds the cells and ensures protection, flotation and locomotion.
