Answer:

The correct answer is C) Maltose promotes the synthesis of the maltose operon functional gene as it acts on the regulatory gene to make it a functional activator

Explanation:

Maltose promotes the synthesis of the maltose operon functional gene as it acts on the regulatory gene to make it a functional activator. The regulatory protein is not functional until maltose is present to bind to the protein. Then, in its altered form, it can bind to the operator of the operon and direct the RNA polymerase to the promoter to increase transcription.

Answer:

<u>Inducer</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

Structural proteins within bacteria are encoded along with their functions. These are typically found in a block of genes called an operon. They undergo transcription together with the use of a single promoter sequence to form a polycystronic transcript- this allows for the simultaneous control and regulation of biochemical pathways. This is efficient as these pathways would either need to function together when "switched on" or will not be needed when "switched off". Repressors are proteins that effectively hinder translation by binding to DNA at the operator site, blocking the activity of RNA polymerase in transcription. However inducers are small molecules that can displace these, freeing up the operon for transcription and the activation of relevant biochemical pathways.

The mal operon includes genes which mediate the breakdown of the substrate maltose in bacterial cells. Maltose, called a malt sugar, is a carbohydrate compound made up of two glucose molecules joined by an α-(1,4) glycosidic linkage.

In the presence of maltose, the inducer binds to the activator. This then allows for the binding of RNA polymerase, which facilitates translation and th epr

If you poured 100 milliliters of water onto a cookie sheet, would the evaporation rate be faster, slower, or the same as the eva

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

It depends on the temperature of the cookie sheet.

Explanation:

If the temperature of a cookie sheet is higher than the container used by Kennya, then the evaporation of water is faster because the water molecules quickly gains the kinetic energy that helps them in the evaporation while on the other hand, if the cookie sheet is not hot enough as compared to the container, the evaporation rate is slower but if both have same temperature so the evaporation is remain the same.

Consider the motion diagram. It illustrates a car's velocity (V) and acceleration (A). Determine is there is a change in either

aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

Change in velocity: yes

Change in acceleration: no

Explanation:

The diagram of the problem is missing: find it in attachment.

In the diagram, there are represented:

- The velocity of the car, as a vector labelled with V

- The acceleration of the car, as a vector labelled with A

The directions of the vector represent the direction of the velocity and the acceleration, while the length of the arrows represent the magnitude of the two quantities.

We observe that:

- For the velocity, the direction is always to the right; however, the length of the arrow decreases, so the magnitude of the velocity keeps decreasing

- For the acceleration, the direction is always to the left; and the length of the arrow remains constant, therefore the magnitude of the acceleration does not change.

This means that the car is moving to the right, but it is slowing down, since the direction of the acceleration is opposite to the direction of the velocity.
