Answer:

The lac operon is an operon, or group of genes with a single promoter (transcribed as a single mRNA). The genes in the operon encode proteins that allow the bacteria to use lactose as an energy source. coli normally metabolise glucose, but if glucose is not available in a new environment, the lac operon can allow E. coli to metabolise lactose, the sugar found in milk using the structural genes beta-galactosidase and lactose permease. The lac operon of E. coli contains genes involved in lactose metabolism. ... It normally blocks transcription of the operon, but stops acting as a repressor when lactose is present. The lac repressor senses lactose indirectly, through its isomer allolactose.

If an analogy were to be made between the function of different cell organelles and the services provided by different companies
insens350 [35]
The FedEx of the cell are the vesicles. Vesicles are the structures in which many cell materials are packed and transported. Vesicles are cellular organelles that are composed of a lipid bilayer and they function as cellular envelopes to transport cell materials from one place to another inside the cell. An example of one material is protein. After a particular protein has been synthesized in the ribosomes of the cell, it is packaged in a vesicle called a transport vesicle. The vesicle carries this package to the Golgi apparatus for final tweaking after which it is again repacked in a new vesicle which transports it to its required destination in the cell.
