What is FALSE about E coli and the lac operon? A. The lac Y and lac Z genes are turned off when lactose is present.B. The lac Y

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.

eimsori [14]
Using Newton's second law;

F = ma, where m = mass, a = acceleration or deceleration

a = Δv/t = (v-u)/t, but v= 0, u = 10 m/s, t = 1.
Then,
a = (0-10)1 = -10 m/s^2

Substituting;
F = ma = 10*-10 = -100 N

The  mattress exerts 100 N to stop the ball.

Why are there so few eclipses in 2014?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Because the Moon casts a smaller shadow than Earth does, eclipses of the Sun tightly constrain where you can see them. If the Moon completely hides the Sun, even for a moment, the eclipse is considered total.

Define the relationship between refraction and reflection
ElenaW [278]
Reflection and refraction are two different phenomenons. In case of reflection, wave bounces back into the same medium after incident with the interface of two mediums. Reflection will happen if surface is shiny as well as smooth. If surface is irregular, one will get diffused reflection. Refraction means bending of light when waves travel from one medium to another
