In the absence of glucose and the presence of lactose, where is the lac repressor bound?

Biology
1 answer:
astraxan [27]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The lac repressor is not bound to the operon.

Explanation:

The lac repressor is a protein encoded by the lac I gene. In absence of lactose, the lac repressor binds to the operator sequence of the lac operon and does not allow the RNA polymerase to express the operon. However, as lactose enters the cell from the medium, the beta-galactosidase enzyme converts it into allolactose which in turn serves as an inducer of the lac operon. Binding of allolactose to lac repressor trigger conformational changes in the protein and renders it unable to bind to the operator. The RNA polymerase is allowed to express the operon.

What is the purpose of chloroplasts?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

Chloroplasts are the food producers of the cell. They are only found in plant cells and some protists. Animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Every green plant you see is working to convert the energy of the sun into sugars. Plants are the basis of all life on Earth. They create sugars, and the byproduct of that process is the oxygen that we breathe. That process happens in the chloroplast. Mitochondria work in the opposite direction and break down the sugars and nutrients that the cell receives.
