Which of the following BEST describes transcriptional regulation of the lac operon in E. coli?

Biology
1 answer:
Alexeev081 [22]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

E. On in the presence of lactose and absence of glucose

Explanation:

Expression of lac operon synthesizes the enzymes required for catabolism of lactose sugar. When both glucose and lactose are available, glucose is preferred as a nutrient and the lac operon is not expressed.

Lac operon is expressed only when glucose is absent in the medium and lactose is present. If any of the two conditions deviate, the operon is not expressed.

In the absence of glucose and the presence of lactose, the repressor is rendered inactive to bind to the operator. RNA polymerase enzyme is free to bind to the promoter and continue the process of transcription.

The reduced levels of glucose increase the cAMP levels which in turn bind to the Catabolite activator protein (CAP). CAP is a positive regulator that binds to the promoter to facilitate the transcription of the operon by RNA polymerase.

Which of the following most likely results in a decrease in a blackbird population
dexar [7]
Bright colors such as flowers or light green bushes/trees would result in an decrease in a blackbirds population because the blackbird wouldn't be able to blend into its environment due to the dark color it has, allowing many predators to spot it. So brighter colored environments would result in the decrease of the blackbird population.

Why shouldn't you have more than one<br> independent variable
quester [9]
There are often not more than one or two independent variables tested in an experiment, otherwise it is difficult to determine the influence of each upon the final results. There may be several dependent variables, because manipulating the independent variable can influence many different things.

After watching the video, how would you define the term ecological relationship? Are they always beneficial to organisms involve
dangina [55]

Answer:

There is no video but ecological relationship will be defined on a general note and it is not always beneficial to organisms.

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, organisms of the same or different species tend to interact with one another. This interaction is referred to as ECOLOGICAL RELATIONSHIP between the involved organisms. An ecological relationship can be of different types depending on the effect.

SYMBIOSIS is an ecological relationship between two organisms that interact together. SYMBIOSIS can either be mutualistic (both organisms benefit), parasitic (one organism loses and one gains), or commensalistic (one organism benefits and one neither benefits or loses). Another ecological relationship is PREDATION, where one organism called the PREDATOR feeds on part or all of another organism called PREY in order to obtain energy.

As stated above, some of the organisms involved in an ecological relationship benefits while others lose. Hence, it is not always a beneficial relationship to organisms.
