The functional residual volume (FRV) of an individual who is breathing from a flowmeter carrying 30 liters of air. Given: In the flowmeter carrying 30 liters of air with an initial gas mixture of 20% oxygen, 75% nitrogen, 5% helium, an individual was asked to breathe. The individual was able to inhale and exhale 20 times and the final concentration of helium was measured to be 4.6%. Introduction: The FRV of an individual’s lungs may be defined as that volume of air which is present after the person has exhaled in normal conditions. Even after the exhalation, there is some amount of air that is left in the lungs and that is FRV.

Molecular Biology Please help with question. thank you You are studying the expression of the lac operon. You have isolated mutants as described below. In the presence of glucose, explain/describe what would happen, for each mutant, to the expression of the lac operon when you add lactose AND what would happen when the bacteria has used up all of the lactose (if the mutant is able to use lactose).5. Mutations in the lac operator that strengthen the binding of the lac repressor 200 fold 6. Mutations in the promoter that prevent binding of RNA polymerase 7. Mutations in CRP/CAP protein that prevent binding of cAMP8. Mutations in sigma factor that prevent binding of sigma to core RNA polymerase

Molecular Biology Please help and there is an attached image. Thank you. A bacteria has a gene whose protein/enzyme product is involved with the synthesis of a lipid necessary for the synthesis of the cell membrane. Expression of this gene requires the binding of a protein (called ACT) to a control sequence (called INC) next to the promoter. A. Is the expression/regulation of this gene an example of induction or repression?Please explain:B. Is this expression/regulation an example of positive or negative control?C. When the lipid is supplied in the media, the expression of the enzyme is turned off.Describe one likely mechanism for how this “turn off” is accomplished.
