In a certain bacterial species, the amino acid arginine is synthesized by a particular enzyme so the bacterium does not require arginine in its growth medium. A key enzyme, which we will call arginine synthetase, is necessary for arginine biosynthesis. When these bacteria are given arginine in their growth media, they stop synthesizing arginine intracellularly. Based on this observation alone, propose three different regulatory mechanisms to explain why arginine biosynthesis ceases when arginine is added to the growth medium. To better understand the mechanism of regulation, you measure the amount of intracellular arginine synthetase protein when cells are grown in the presence and absence of arginine. Under both growth conditions, the amount of this protein is identical. Which mechanism of regulation would be consistent with this experimental observation?.

Modes of Nutrition

It is a biological process of providing or obtaining food that is necessary for growth and health. It includes many physiological processes - absorption, ingestion, assimilation, catabolism, excretion, etc. In biology, the science that deals with nutrition's physiological and chemical processes are called "nutritional science."
