Answer:

a. glycogen.

Explanation:

Glycogen, which is a polymer of glucose residues, is the main reserve polysaccharide in animals and is found in all cells. It is present in greater concentration in the liver and muscle.

Glycogen is important for the production of ATP in muscle cells and in most other cell types. In muscle, energy from glycogen is essential for muscle contraction. In this case, it is noticed that glycogen is not exported, being used by the cell itself. In the liver, glycogen acts as a source of glucose, being responsible for glycemic control. In that case, glucose is exported to other parts of the body.

Which below is not a way in which a contrail may form?

user100 [1]

The answer is Due to heating of the air by the engine exhaust. Contrails are formed when the hot exhaust of the plane engines is rapidly cooled by the cold air in the upper atmosphere. The water vapor in the engine exhaust, formed in the combustion of fuel, freezes immediately to ice crystals due to the low pressure and -36oC temperatures in the 8000 m altitude in which the planes cruise.

Under which conditions are the lac structural genes expressed most efficiently?

madam [21]

Lac genes are most effectively expressed in presence of Lactose and its analogs when glucose is absent.

Explanation:

A unit of prokaryotic gene expression and regulation,which includes structural genes and regulatory sequences recognized by regulatory gene product is called operon.

Lac structural genes are a part of Lac operon. The Lac operon consists of three, structural genes,an operator and a promoter.The product of Lac operon is involved in the conversion of disaccharide lactose into glucose and Galactose.

Lactose and its analogs are inducers of Lac operon. So, the structural genes are best expressed in presence of Lactose. Glucose and galactose are repressors of lac gene so the genes are repressed in presence of glucose.
