How many genes in the lac operon are found in e. coli?
My answer is 3, I am pretty sure I am right, but I would double check to make sure. I am in ninth grade taking biology at PineTree.
Lactose in take in E. coli?
it is by lac operon syastem
Is the lac operon found in prokaryotes or eukaryotes?
The lac operon is found in prokaryotes, specifically in bacteria such as Escherichia coli. It is a regulatory system that controls the expression of genes involved in lactose metabolism. Eukaryotic cells do not typically have operons like the lac operon.
What is the lac operon in E. coli a classic example of?
gene expression occurring at transcription
How does e coli with limited food supply respond?
The lac operon is switched on so the E. coli can use it as a food source.
What does the E coli the lac operon controls?
When the lac operon controls the expression of proteins in the E.coli cell that can break down lactose into two sugars, glucose and galactose. When lactose is present, it binds to the repressor that typically sits on the lac operon, changing the repressor's conformation such that it can no longer bind to the lac operon. Because of this, RNA polymerase can now transcribe the gene into mRNA, which in turn is translated into the proteins that can break down lactose.

The operon that controls the metabolism of lactose is called the what?
its an operon required for the transport and metabolism of lactose.
What is the name of the DNA sequence that is located newr the promoter of the lactose operon and regulates the expression of the operon in E.Coli?
The DNA sequence located near the promoter of the lactose operon in E. coli that regulates its expression is called the lac operator. The lac operator binds the lac repressor protein, which inhibits transcription of the operon when lactose is absent. When lactose is present, it binds to the repressor, causing it to release from the operator and allowing transcription to proceed.
Why does lac operon shut down some time after addition of lactose in the medium In the medium where E coli was growing lactose was added which induced the lac operon?
The lac operon in E. coli is initially activated in the presence of lactose, which is converted to allolactose, acting as an inducer that binds to the repressor protein and allows transcription of the genes needed for lactose metabolism. However, once lactose is consumed and its levels decrease, the concentration of allolactose drops, leading to the re-binding of the repressor to the operator region of the operon, thus shutting down transcription. Additionally, if glucose is present, it can inhibit lac operon expression through catabolite repression, further contributing to the shutdown.
What does the promoter of the lac operon sac do?
The promoter of the lac operon helps initiate the transcription of the lac genes. It is where RNA polymerase binds to start transcribing the mRNA for the lacZ, lacY, and lacA genes. The Lac operon is a system in bacterial cells that regulates the expression of genes involved in lactose metabolism.
What genes is not a part of the lac operon?
repressor gene
