and lac Z genes are turned off when glucose is present. C. Lactose is a disaccharide which requires more energy to eat than the monosaccharide glucose. D. The lac Y gene encodes the permease protein. E. B-galactosidase breaks the covalent bond between the glucose and galactose of the lactose molecule.

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.

The ice skaters partner liftes her up a distance of 1 m work done or not work done
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Work done.

Explanation:

The skater who lifts has to overcome the partner's weight. When lifted up by 1 meter, her potential energy increases by (mass)x(gravitational acceleration)x(1meter), which is the amount of work done.

(This all assumes lifting vertically and no other forces being part of the picture)

Compare and contrast fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs.
dezoksy [38]

Incandescent light is a glowing white light produced by heat. An incandescent light bulb works by heating a filament in the bulb. Fluorescent light is a bright light produced by electricity flowing through a tube filled with ionized gas. Fluorescent light bulbs are more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs

An airliner arrives at the terminal, and its engines are shut off. The rotor of one of the engines has an initial clockwise angu
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

(a) 1200 rad/s

The angular acceleration of the rotor is given by:

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}

where we have

\alpha = -80.0 rad/s^2 is the angular acceleration (negative since the rotor is slowing down)

\omega_f is the final angular speed

\omega_i = 2000 rad/s is the initial angular speed

t = 10.0 s is the time interval

Solving for \omega_f, we find the final angular speed after 10.0 s:

\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t = 2000 rad/s + (-80.0 rad/s^2)(10.0 s)=1200 rad/s

(b) 25 s

We can calculate the time needed for the rotor to come to rest, by using again the same formula:

\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}

If we re-arrange it for t, we get:

t = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\alpha}

where here we have

\omega_i = 2000 rad/s is the initial angular speed

\omega_f=0 is the final angular speed

\alpha = -80.0 rad/s^2 is the angular acceleration

Solving the equation,

t=\frac{0-2000 rad/s}{-80.0 rad/s^2}=25 s
