Acts as a repressor (inhibits transcription from the lac operon)

Answer:

a. Acts as a repressor (inhibits transcription from the lac operon)

Explanation:

LacI is a repressor protein that plays an important role in lac operon. Lac operon is usually switched off i.e. it is inactive in absence of lactose and presence of glucose. The operon has an operator region, promoter region and structural genes.

In absence of lactose, LacI repressor binds to the operator area. Since operator region overlaps with the promoter region, RNA Polymerase is not able to bind to promoter due to presence of repressor. Transcription of lac operon genes does not take place. When lactose is present, some of it is converted into allolactose. Allolactose binds to LacI repressor making it change its shape. The repressor is no longer able to bind to operator region and RNA Polymerase is free to transcribe the genes making the operon active.

how do you think plant cells differ from animal cells? (Hint: what can plants do that animals cannot?
zvonat [6]
A difference between plant cells and animal cells is that most animal cells are round whereas most plant cells are rectangular.Plant cells have a rigid cell wall that surrounds the cell membrane. Animal cells do not have a cell wall. When looking under a microscope, the cell wall is an easy way to distinguish plant cells.

Difference Between Plant And Animal Cells 1 Chloroplast. Like animal cells plant cells have mitochondria. 2 Cell Wall. Animal cells do not contain a cell wall while plant cells and fungi cells do. 3 Vacuole. Vacuoles are very large membrane-bound sacs within plant cells.

On what basis are enzymes classified and named?
Zielflug [23.3K]

Enzymes are classified and named according to the<u> types of reactions they catalyze.</u>

Explanation:

According to the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology nomenclature of enzyme classification, enzymes are classified depending upon the reactions they catalyze and how the reaction transforms the substrate and forms new products.

Based on the reactions:

Addition reaction (removal of a water molecule): hydrases or hydrolases like esterases, nucleases etc

Electron transfer reaction: Oxidases and dehydrogenases

Radical transfer reaction: Transglycosidases, transaminases, etc

Splitting or C-C bond formation: Desmolases

Structural or geometrical change: Isomerases

Hydrolysis of phosphate bonds to join molecules: Ligases

Based on the general principle of recommendations, enzymes are suffixed with –ase  depending upon the catalytic reaction and substrate.

No. The recorded drop in water in the pipet of the potometer would have been used not only for plant transpiration, but also to return the plant cells to a turgid state. Turgid means to expand<span> due to high fluid content. Plants are required to maintain turgid cells to maintain an upright position as loss of turgidity results in plant wilting.</span>
