Answer:

A slug would shrink and die if you were to sprinkle salt on in because it would cause water to leave the cells of the slug through the aquaporins in the cell membrane. This is because through osmosis water balances itself with the solute to reach equillibrium. When you pour salt on the slug you are making the outside a hypertonic solution that is going to draw out the water in the slug's cells.

Talja [164]

Answer:

When AraC binds to arabinose to initiate the process of transcription, then AraC is acting as an Activator.

Explanation:

Transcription is a process that help to produce messenger RNA from the DNA that is present in the nuceloids of bacteria cells. The production of these mRNA however, depends on the intracellular condition of the bacteria, for example, if there is a need for the protein coded for by the segment or not. In the case of this bacterium, the AraC can act as a repressor only when there is no arabinose sugar in the cell. In the scenario above, AraC will act as an activator because of the presence of the sugar arabinose.
