    In E coli the lac operon will express enzymes for the digestion of (Glucose/Lactose) when it is present, but if both the sugar mentioned before and (Glucose/ Lactose) are present the lac operon is repressed, resulting in the (Glucose/ Lactose) being used first. If there are high levels of cAMP, this means (Glucose/Lactose) levels are low, this results in a (Represser/Promoter) being activated and (Decreasing/Increasing) transcription of the lac operon.

    If we placed a bacterium into a medium that contained neither lactose nor glucose (let's give them arabinose instead), what will be the level of transcription from the lac operon? O A OFF (fully repressed, but not activated) O B BASAL (neither repressed nor activated) O C HIGH (not repressed, but activated) O D OFF (both repressed and activated, but the repressor "wins") Under what conditions do we get maximum transcription from the lac operon? O A When both glucose...

    help pleaseee In the lac operon, positive control occurs through the presence of the CAMP-CAP complex. This complex is not available in the presence of glucose. this would mean that: When lactose is present, the lac operon will be activated only if glucose is absent When lactose is absent, the lac operon will be activated only if glucose is also present When lactose is present, the lac operon will not be activated regardless of glucose presence When lactose is present,...

    5. Jacob, Monod, and Pardee used various E.coli mutants to help determine how the lac operon is regulated. The descriptions of some of the mutants are listed. For each E. coli mutant determine if the lac operon would be on or off in a lactose-only environment. laci mutant: This mutant produces a super repressor that is not inactivated by allolactose. It will still stick. Operater will be off, lacO mutant: This mutant has an altered operator sequence so that the...

    The lac operon codes for enzymes that break down lactose, but this operon is only used when needed. This includes: 1. When the repressor is bound at the operator 2.When RNA polymerase is bound to the promotor WITHOUT the CAP molecule 3.When the CAP and cAMP molecules are bound to the RNA polymerase and lactose is bound to the repressor 4.When the CAP and cAMP molecules are bound to the RNA polymerase and lactose is NOT bound to the repressor

    26. The lac operon in E. coli consists of genes that code for enzymes necessary for the breakdown of lactose. When lactose is absent, the operon is inactive because a repressor protein binds to a specific site in the lac operon. When lactose is present, lactose molecules bind to the repressor protein, causing the repressor protein to dissociate from the binding site. In the absence of glucose (a preferred energy source for bacteria), the protein CAP binds to a regulatory...

    A mutation occurs in the operator of the Lac Operon. Because of this mutation, the Lac Repressor is unable to bind to the operator. If a bacterial cell contained this mutation, would the Lac operon be transcribed at a high rate (be on) or off under the following conditions: Write on or off in the blank next to each of the conditions. + glucose + lactose ________ + glucose   - lactose ________ - glucose   + lactose ________ - glucose    -...
