lac Z, lac Y, and lac A. Enzymes for the degradation and preparation of lactose for bacterial metabolisms.
Repressor Protiens
The lac operon is most active when glucose levels are low and lactose is present.
In the lac operon model, lactose acts as in inducer molecule. In the presence of lactose, the molecule binds to the repressor protein. This repressor-lactose complex is unable to bind to the promoter. When the promoter is not occupied, RNA pol - II binds to it and begins transcribing the structural genes located downstream. Thus, the lac operon is turned on in the presence of lactose.
Lactose is present, otherwise the lac operon is not needed and is shut off.
Lactose is absent
1. in lac operon; gene activity is induced when lactose is present in the medium, whereas in case of trp operon, repression of the gene activity takes place in presence of tryptophan in the medium. 2. lac operon spans about 4-6kb...whereas trp operon spans abut 7kb. 3. lac operon helps in the breakdown of lactose into glucose and galactose, to generate energy( catabolic pathway ) in case of trp operon, it helps in the synthesis of enzymes required for the formation of the amino acid Tryptophan( anabolic pathway ). 4. lac operon is an example of positive regulation ; and trp operon is an example of negative regulation. Trp operon is also regulated by other mechanism called attenuation while no such even occurs in lac operon . .

its an operon required for the transport and metabolism of lactose.
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 lac repressor protein has a binding site for lactose itself.
it is by lac operon syastem

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.
