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.

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Skin,muscles and metabolism play a significant role in maintaining his body temperature

Explanation:

Role of skin

In cold environment the blood vessels of the skin constrict to prevent the loss or liberation of heat from his(jim) body.

Role of muscles

The one of principle function of muscle is to store glycogen.The stored glycogen of jim"s muscle undergo glycogenolysis to generate heat inside his body.

Role of metabolism

In cold environment the rate of aerobic respiration and other catabolic reactions such as beta oxidation of fatty acid occur to generate energy in form of heat in his body.

Column designs are separated into three categories, the first is Doric, which is the most common and then second comes the Ionic and last but not the least, the most favored and extravagant type of column, the Corinthian Column.
