Which of the following statements about Monod's diauxic growth curve is FALSE? The bacteria prefer glucose, and only eat lactose when glucose is exhausted. The bacteria are eating both glucose and lactose in the initial phase of logarithmic growth, and they slow down in the middle of the growth curve when they run out of lactose. Lactose consumption requires expression of both a permease to allow it into the cell and a b-galactosidase to metabolize it into two monosaccharides The concentration of lactose in the culture only goes down in the middle of the diauxic curve, after all the glucose is consumed. The bacteria pause growth in the middle of the growth curve because it takes them a while to induce the genes required for lactose consumption

Which of the following statements about the enzyme adenylate cyclase (AC) is FALSE?
AC is activated by the presence of lactose
AC helps E. coli optimize metabolism by favoring consumption of easy-to-digest sugars when they are availabl
AC links the alpha phosphate on the 3' carbon of ATP to the 5' carbon as well, forming cyclic AMP
AC is inhibited by the presence of glucose
