Answer: The lac Y and lac Z genes are turned off when lactose is present. Is a false statement about E coli and the lac operon. Therefore the correct option is A.

Explanation:

Escherichia coli is an enteric bacteria that makes use of lactose operon (or lac operon) for its lactose metabolism. The lac operon is made up of three genes which includes lacZ, lacY and Lac A. These genes are expressed only when lactose is present and glucose is absent. Also the lac repressor acts as a lactose sensor while the catabolite activation protein (CAP) acts as a glucose sensor. They help in turning on and off the genes with respect to lactose and glucose levels.

The lac Y and lac Z genes are turned off (not expressed) when glucose is present and lactose absent, but are expressed when glucose is absent and lactose present. Therefore option A is a false statement.

Describe what the sun would look like from earth if the entire photosphere were the same temperature as a sunspot?
vichka [17]

The sun would look like from earth if the entire photosphere were the same temperature as a sunspot then wouldn't see anything from Earth but darkness

The lowest layer of the sun is the photosphere. It is the outer layer of the sun. It is the deepest region of the luminous object. It is composed of convection cells which are called granules . The Sun's photosphere has a temperature between 4,500 and 6,000 K

Sunspots are areas where the magnetic field is about 2,500 times stronger than Earth's, much higher than anywhere else on the Sun.  Because of the strong magnetic field, the magnetic pressure increases while the surrounding atmospheric pressure decreases.

Sunspots tend to occur in pairs that have magnetic fields pointing in opposite directions.  A typical spot consists of a dark region called the umbra, surrounded by a lighter region known as the penumbra.  

The sunspots appear relatively dark because the surrounding surface of the Sun (the photosphere) is about 10,000 degrees F, while the umbra is about 6,300 degrees F.  Sunspots are quite large as an average size is about the same size as the Earth.

If the photosphere were of the same temperature as the sunspot, then we wouldn't see anything from Earth but darkness. We were only able to see and recognize the sunspot because it is surrounded by the visible photosphere.

A football is thrown due north across a 40 meter river and it takes 2 seconds to cover that distance.
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

I. Speed = 20m/s

II. Velocity = 20m/s due North.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Distance = 40m

Time = 2secs

To find the speed;

Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;

Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Speed = \frac{40}{2}

<em>Speed = 20m/s.</em>

In physics, we use the same formula for calculating speed and velocity. The only difference is that speed is a scalar quantity and as such has magnitude but no direction while velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

<em>Therefore, the velocity is 20m/s due North</em>.

A motorcycle has a speed of 30 m / s. After braking, it decelerates with constant deceleration A = -3.0 m / s ^ 2
marin [14]

a = \displaystyle\frac{v-u}{t}

-3 = \displaystyle\frac{v - 30}{3}

v -30 = -9

v = 21 m/s
