Answer:

Due to less steps and requires less energy.

Explanation:

The bacterial cell is able to use glucose first as an energy source then switch to lactose because glucose requires less steps and less amount of energy for the break down as compared to lactose. If lactose is the only sugar available to the bacterial cells, then bacterial cells will use it as energy source for the production of energy. In order to use lactose, the bacteria must express the lac operon genes, which encode the main enzymes for lactose uptake and metabolism.

What connection is there between Photosynthesis and Glucose production
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

The relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration is such that the products of one system are the reactants of the other.

Explanation:

For example, the output of photosynthesis is the input of glucose production or cellular respiration. The output of glucose production is the input of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis involves the use of energy from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.  To emphasize this point, even more, the equation for photosynthesis is the opposite of cellular respiration.
