Answer: D) cAMP

Explanation:

In the absence of glucose cell can make use of other sources of carbohydrates such as lactose. In E. Coli and other bacteria utilization of lactose depends on the availability of cAMP. Bacteria accumulate cAMP only when starved. When glucose is exhausted, cAMP is available in plenty.

cAMP is necessary for the gene expression because it binds catabolite repressor protein (CAP) to form CAP-cAMP complex. CAP is a lac repressor the binds to the operator site of the lac operon preventing RNAP From binding to the promoter.

RNA polymerase can bind to the promoter site only when CAP-cAMP formed

The number of ducks in a pond is equal to the square root of the number of fish, and the number of turtles is equal to the cube
brilliants [131]

Answer:

There are 64 fish, 8 ducks and 4 turtles.

Explanation:

From the question, there can be from 2 to 99 fish in the pond. However, there cannot be fractions in the number of fish, ducks or turtles. Hence, the number of fish must have both of a perfect square and perfect cube. The perfect squares from 2 to 99 are 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64 and 81. The perfect cubes from 2 to 99 are 8, 27 and 64. Since only 64 fits both criteria, the number of fish is 64. The number of ducks is the square root of number of fish, which is the square root of 64. The square root of 64 can be either positive 8 or negative 8. However, there cannot be negative numbers, so there are 8 ducks in total. The number of turtles is the cube root of the number of fish, which is the cube root of 64 and it is 4.

What are some activities that cells engage in that require energy? And from where do cells obtain the energy they need to make A
malfutka [58]
Some activities that cell requires energy may include cell division, active transport, protein synthesis etc.
In human, Cells get their energy by the food we eat. The nutrients in the food breaks down into soluble and simple molecules in stomach and small intestine and it is absorbed through the small intestine and assimilated into the cells, becoming part of it, providing the uses for each type of nutrient. And of course, many of them is the energy source.

The ____________ functions as a gateway through which chemicals and small particles, such as ____________ enter or leave the cel
Vilka [71]

Answer: cell membrane

such as water, micro-organism

physical process

simple diffusion, osmosis and filtration

such as potasssium permaganate in water,urea a liver waste diffuses from the body and the kidney help in filtering it out

physiological processs

active transport, phagocytosis and pinocytosis

such as soduim-potassium pump, exocytosis

Explanation:  transportation in and out of cell is done in different ways listed above but a barrier to this movement is the cell membrane which is an outer covering of the cell. it protect the cell and only some materials can penetrate the cell membrane e.g micro-organism, water e.t.c. the various physical and physiological processes are the various ways substance  cna be liquid, solid or gas are transported within or outside the  cell e.g food
