1. All genes are not "on" all the time. Using the metabolic needs of E. coli, explain why not. 2. What are the two main ways of

controlling metabolism in bacterial cells? 3. Feedback inhibition is a recurring mechanism throughout biological systems. In the case of E. coli regulating tryptophan synthesis, is it positive or negative inhibition? Explain your choice. 4. What is a promoter? 5. What is the operator? What does it do? 6.

Answer:

Explanation:

1. All genes are not 'on' all the time. Using the metabolic needs of <em>E.coli, E.coli</em> regulate their gene expression to reserve resources when the environment is giving them what they need. <em>E.coli </em>feed on tryptophan, they produce it when tryptophan is low in the environment and they stop the production when it is abundant in their environment.

2. The two main ways of controlling metabolism in bacterial cells include;

  • to adjust the activity of present enzymes
  • to adjust production level of an enzyme

3. <em>E.coli</em> is negative inhibition because it involves an operon being switched off by active form of repression protein.

4. A promoter is a site where RNA polymerase can bind to DNA and begin transcription

5. The operator is the 'on switch' for gene replication. it is positioned within the promoter or between the promoter and enzyme coding genes. it controls the access of RNA polymerase to the genes.

6. An operon is the functioning unit of DNA containing a cluster of genes under the control of a single promoter.

The majority of triglyceride digestion occurs in the small intestine facilitated by the enzyme
bixtya [17]

Answer:

pancreatic lipase

Explanation:

Enzymes from pancreas involved in triacylglycerol digestion are called pancreatic lipases and they catalyze the partial hydrolysis of triglycerides into a mixture of free fatty acids and acylglycerols. After digestion of lipids, monoglycerides and fatty acids associate with bile salts and phopholipids to form micelles. Micelles are structures that are necessary for the transport the poorly soluble monoglycerides and fatty acids to the surface of the enterocyte. But, micelles cannot be absorbed by epithelial cell, only freely dissolved monoglycerides and fatty acids can. Free fatty acids and monogycerids can just diffuse across the plasma membrane because of their nonpolar nature.

 Some absorption (e.g. for cholesterol) may be facilitated by specific transport proteins.

The endosymbiotic theory states that chloroplasts and mitochondria evolved as a result of
blsea [12.9K]
A Eukaryotic cell engulfing a bacterial cell.

You may want to know that the bacteria which used to photosynthesise , after they have been engulfed by an eukaryotic cell , they evolved into Chloroplasts .
However for the bacteria which used to respire , they have evolved into mitochondria.

Hope this helps :) Good Luck !

1. Can a single organism change its traits to become better suited for its environment during its lifetime? (highlight one) YES
Burka [1]

Answer:

check explanation

Explanation:

If you are talking about adapting to an environment then yes, like how we train to strengthen our muscles to get stronger. If you mean by evolving then no, a single organism can not evolve their traits in a lifetime, like a human can't naturally grow gills to breathe underwater
