<span>The lac operon has three genes that encode for proteins that break down lactose into galactose and glucose. When there is no lactose around, it wouldn't make sense for the prokaryote to make these proteins as it would be a waste of energy. So, when there is no lasctose around, the lac repressor binds the operator region of the operon, which inhibits RNA polymerase's ability to bind and start gene expression. However, when lactose is available, it binds to the lac repressor and deactivates it via allosteric inhibition. Once the lac repressor is gone, the genes can be transcribed into mRNA which can be translated into proteins which can go and break down the lactose. </span>
Xylem, which is a dead cell that carries water in only one direction: up
Answer:Water masses give a very robust representation of the thermohaline state of the ocean and ocean circulation. ... This water body shows extremely stable vertical stratification, and its water density changes from ~1,011 kg/m3 at the ocean surface to ~1,016 kg/m3 at 100‐m depth.
