The regulatory portion of the operon is the only portion that would be transcribed.

The lac operon enables a bacterium to build the proteins needed for lactose metabolism only when what is presented?

Only when lactose is present; if glucose is present the cell will metabolize glucose over lactose due to glucose being easier for the cell to metabolize.


The lac operon enables a bacterium to build the proteins needed for lactose metabolism only when?

Lactose is present, otherwise the lac operon is not needed and is shut off.


Would iodine be effective if testing for the presence of lactose?

No, iodine would not be effective for testing the presence of lactose. Iodine is typically used to detect the presence of starch, not lactose. To test for lactose, you would typically use reagents like Benedict's solution or glucose test strips.


What name is given for the following reaction of galactose plus glucose plus lactose plus water?

The reaction of galactose plus glucose plus lactose plus water typically describes the hydrolysis of lactose, which is a disaccharide composed of glucose and galactose. In this reaction, the enzyme lactase catalyzes the breakdown of lactose into its constituent monosaccharides, galactose and glucose, in the presence of water. The overall process is called hydrolysis, specifically of lactose, leading to the release of its monosaccharide components.


Who can metabolize lactose?

types of bacterium.


How long it take glucose and lactose form osazone and why?

The formation of osazone from glucose or lactose can take a few minutes to hours, depending on the reaction conditions. This process involves the reaction of glucose or lactose with excess phenylhydrazine in the presence of an acid catalyst. The resulting osazone crystals are then typically observed under a microscope for identification.


The lac repressor releases the operator in the presence of glucose?

That statement is inaccurate. The lac repressor releases the operator in the absence of glucose but in the presence of lactose. Glucose acts as a catabolite activator protein (CAP) regulator in the lac operon system.


When is the lactose operon likely to be transcribed?

The lactose operon is likely to be transcribed in the absence of glucose and presence of lactose. When glucose is low and lactose is available, the inducer molecule allolactose binds to the repressor protein, causing it to be released from the operator region and enabling RNA polymerase to transcribe the operon.


What Disaccharide is produced by combining glucose and galactose?

Lactose is the disaccharide produced by combining glucose and galactose.


Does coke have lactose in it?

Cola is lactose free it has no lactose it has glucose in it !


Genes that are turned on or off by the presence of lactose?

lacZ codes for the enzyme beta-galactosidase, which splits lactose into glucose plus galactose. lacY codes for a "permease" protein that allows lactose to enter the cell, and lacA codes for an enzyme that acetylates lactose.


How is glucose an important factor in lactose synthesis?

Glucose is important for lactose synthesis because it provides the substrate for the enzyme lactose synthase to combine with galactose to form lactose. Without glucose, there would not be enough substrate available for lactose synthesis to occur efficiently. Additionally, glucose can stimulate the production of lactose synthase enzyme, further promoting lactose synthesis in mammary glands.
