You are studying a bacterium that utilizes a sugar called athelose. This sugar can be used as an energy source when necessary. M

etabolism of athelose is controlled by the ath operon. The genes of the ath operon code for the enzymes necessary to use athelose as an energy source. You have found the following: The genes of the ath operon are expressed only when the concentration of athelose in the bacterium is high. When glucose is absent, the bacterium needs to metabolize athelose as an energy source as much as possible. The same catabolite activator protein (CAP) involved with the lac operon interacts with the ath operon. Based on this information, how is the ath operon most likely controlled?

Answer:

The ath operon is most likely controlled by the CAP and a repressor similar to the lac operon.        

Explanation:

The CAP senses the low concentration of glucose and activates the transcription of the ath operon for it to metabolize the athelose and obtain energy. When the glucose is in high concentrations, the ath repressor, which works as a  lac repressor, inhibits the transcription of the ath operon, it does this by binding to a part of the operon called operator getting in the ARN polymerase way and stoping the transcription. If there is glucose, the repressor binds to it and it is not bound to the operon allowing the transcription and metabolism of glucose.

Answer: The control of an ATH OPERON has both negative and positive sides,they are as follows;

POSITIVE CONTROL OF AN ATH OPERON IS BY;

- Inactive activator ( not glowing w/o yellow square)

- Catabolite activator protein (cAMP)

- Active activator ( glowing w/ yellow square)

NEGATIVE CONTROL OF AN ATH OPERON IS BY;

- Active repressor( glowing w/o yellow square)

- athelose

- Inactive repressor ( not glowing w/ yellow square)

Explanation: The OPERON MODEL describes how bacteria controls the production of groups of enzymes.In operon model, synthesis of the RNA messenger coding for these enzymes is switched on or off by regulatory proteins.

Regulatory proteins bind to the operator to control expression of the operon while a repressor is a protein that inhibits gene transcription,in prokaryotes this protein binds to the DNA in or near the promoter.

How do sulfur and phosphorus move from the biotic to the abiotic pools during their cycles? A) Primary consumers eat producers.
worty [1.4K]

Answer:D) Decomposers break down the remains of producers and consumers

Explanation:A biotic pool is a tidal pool with diverse and changing habitats of living factors. We can say they are important mini ecosystems within the larger ecosystem.

The abiotic pool involves the elemental phases of nature,the non living parts of the ecosystem. Decomposition (break down) of elements/organic compounds is the characteristic bridge between both pools into what is known as nutrients.

This tell us that the ultimate dead part of producers and consumers are used up in this process.

Some of the nutrients released in the biogeochemical cyclic process includes sulfur and phosphorus and they move through the ecosystem.

Note: The biogeochemical cycle is a pathway of movement for chemical elements.

The chemical elements in nature moves through both biotic and abiotic components via abiotic and biotic interaction in the ecosystem

Few abiotic factors includes rocks, air, water, and chemicals while biotic factors includes living organisms activities.

All living and non living elements of nature play vital roles in the great biogeochemical cycle.

A bacterium is infected with an experimentally constructed bacteriophage
dem82 [27]

The complete question is:

a bacterium is infected with an experimentally constructed bacteriophage composed of the T2 phage protein coat and T4 phage DNA. The new phages produced would have

A) T2 protein and T4 DNA

B) T2 protein and T2 DNA

C) a mixture of DNA and proteins of both phages.

D) T4 protein and T4 DNA

E) T4 protein and T2 DNA

A bacterium infected with an experimentally constructed bacteriophage will give new phages with the virus' DNA and the type of proteins that this DNA encodes.

A bacteriophage is a virus that attaches itself to a bacteria and uses it to replicate itself. Viruses have two main parts, a protein coat and their DNA inside it.

  • The experimentally constructed bacteriophage has one type of protein that makes the coat, the T2. This type of protein will allow the virus to attach and infect the bacteria.
  • Once the virus attaches itself to the bacteria, it will introduce its DNA, T4 type, and use the bacteria elements to replicate it and create new phages.
  • As a result, the new phages will have T4 DNA, and the proteins that the virus synthesizes will be the same type as the DNA.

In conclusion, The new phages produced would have D) T4 protein and T4 DNA.
