3. Explain what happens to the Lac operon when lactose is
present and glucose is also present. Then explain what happens when
lactose is present but glucose is absent. In your answer, include
all of the components of the Lac operon and the molecules involved
in its regulation. What is the protein product of the Lac operon?
Explain why this mechanism of control is adaptive.
Thinking of lactose operon regulation, what happens when E. coli
is grown in medium with glucose and lactose?
Group of answer choices
neither Cap/cAMP activator nor LacI repressor are bound to a
regulatory DNA sequence.
LacI repressor is bound to the OPERATOR sequence but
Cap/cAMPactivator is not.
Cap/cAMP activator is bound to the CAP motif but LacI repressor
is not.
both Cap/cAMP activator and LacI repressor are bound to the
OPERATOR sequence.
Growth condition 1: +glucose & +lactose
Growth condition 2: +glucose & -lactose
Growth condition 3: -glucose & +lactose
In which of the above conditions would you see a change in lac
operon expression if you mutate the cAMP receptor protein in E.
coli so that it no longer can bind to cAMP? In which direction
would the change occur?
Group of answer choices
Condition 1; Increase.
Condition 2; Increase.
Condition 1; Decrease.
Condition 3; Decrease.
A)How is the lac operon regulated if the bacteria is put into an
environment where there is excess amount of lactose and glucose at
the same time. (10 pts)
B)From the previous question, how would the outcome change if
the glucose and lactose amounts are very low? (10 pts)
C)Where would the lac repressor be bound in E. Coli
bacteria that is growing in low glucose and high lactose?
