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.

Which groups of organelles is directly responsible for the production of new molecules within a cell?
Brums [2.3K]
Hi, it has to be a.):
The ribosomes are RNA-protein complexes that carry out the protein synthesis in cells
The rough endoplasmis reticulum is covered with ribosomes, which produce membrane proteins and proteins for secretion. The smooth ER is involved in the production of lipids, such as phospholipids for the membranes.
In the Golgi apparatus, the proteins get posttranslationally modificated by adding oligosaccharides to them(glycosylation), this oligosaccharides get assembled there, so this probably counts as producing new molecules
