Answer;

An example of positive feedback loop is;

-When a pregnant woman begins to go into labor, the body sends hormones that increase the intensity of the labor contractions.

Explanation;

-Feedback loops are therefore the process whereby a change to the system results in an alarm which will trigger a certain result. The result will  then either increase the change to the system or reduce it to bring the system back to normal.

-Feedback loops are important because they allow living organisms to maintain homeostasis (maintenance of internal environment of the body constant).

-A positive feedback loop occurs in nature when the product of a reaction leads to an increase in that reaction.  It moves a system further away from the target of equilibrium, by amplifying the effects of a product or event and occurs when something needs to happen quickly.

What is the role of glucose in catabolite repression? What is the role of glucose in catabolite repression?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

It decreases the levels of cAMP in the cell, repressing transcription from the lac operon.

Explanation:

When glucose is absent, cAMP serves as coactivator binds to CRP, the catabolite gene activator protein. The CRP-cAMP complex binds to the site near the lac promoter and stimulates the expression of the operon by RNA polymerase many folds.

Catabolite repression refers to inhibition of the synthesis of enzymes of lactose catabolism when glucose is present as an energy source. In the presence of glucose, synthesis of cAMP is inhibited resulting in its lower cellular concentration. The lower cAMP levels do not allow the binding of cAMP and CRP. The result is reduced expressed of lac operon.
