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

In Lab 3 you determined the rates of enzyme activity and fermentation. If we want to know how smoke products affect the rate of phagocytosis ie- how many vacuoles/ minute, we can measure vacuoles over time. Recall that the rate is the slope of the line: Rise/run (vacuoles/time) where there is a linear trend. What is the rate of phagocytosis for the cannabis treated cells? 12 20060 a.

Lactase is an enzyme in the small intestine that helps break down the sugar lactose, found in milk. As lactose approaches the active site of lactase, as shown in the image, which of the following occurs first? The lactose molecule is broken into glucose and galactose. Lactase shifts to its lowest free energy level to allow lactose to enter the active site. Lactose creates a microenvironment as it approaches lactase to promote binding. Temporary bonding occurs between the active site and the substrate, causing a conformational change.
Which of the following statements is TRUE? Polymerization occurs predominantly at the minus (-) ends of microtubules. Polymerization is favored when tubulin is bound to GDP. Microtubules do not undergo polymerization or depolymerization until the cell receives a signal Tubulin is an enzyme.
Researchers isolated a yeast phosphofructokinase (PFK) mutant in which a serine at the fructose-2,6-bisphosphate binding site was replaced with an aspartate residue. The amino acid substitution completely abolished the binding of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate to PFK. There was a dramatic decline in glucose consumption and ethanol production in the mutant compared to control yeast. Why can't the mutant PFK bind with fructose-2,6-bisphosphate?
Which of the following statements are true regarding the metabolome, the proteome, the genome, and the transcriptome? The number of genes found in the genome equals the number of different proteins that can be made within any give cell. The number of transcription products equals the number of proteins that can be made from these transcription products. The number of genes found in the genome equals the number of different transcription products that can be made within any given cell. The metabolome is encoded by the genome. None of the above.
