Unit 2 Short Answer Question (Do NOT leave blank): Use the following words to fill in the blanks: transcription, dairy products, enzymes, proteins, repressor, rna polymerase, lactose intolerant, lactase, operator, ecoli, transcribe, bases, repressor, operator.

An example of prokaryotic gene expression is the lac operon. When a person is 1), they do not produce the enzyme 2), which aids in the digestion of lactose, the sugar found in 3). If a person who is lactose intolerant eats or drinks a dairy product, lactose travels down the digestive tract into the large intestine, where the genes in the bacteria, 4) , are turned on to create the 5) / 6) needed to digest the lactose. In E. Coli, when lactose is present, it acts as an inducer and binds to the 7) protein, keeping it from attaching to the 8). 9) then is able to attach to and 10) the E. Coli gene by matching up the 11). When lactose is NOT present, the 12) protein binds to the 13 and transcription is blocked. This is an example of gene expression (production of proteins) being controlled at 14).

Mouse liver cells were homogenized and the homogenate subjected to equilibrium density-gradient centrifugation with sucrose gradients. fractions obtained from these gradients were assayed for marker molecules (i.e., molecules that are limited to specific organelles). the results of these assays are shown in the figure. the marker molecules have the following functions: cytochrome oxidase is an enzyme involved in the process by which atp is formed in the complete aerobic degradation of glucose or fatty acids; ribosomal rna forms part of the protein-synthesizing ribosomes; catalase catalyzes decomposition of hydrogen peroxide; acid phosphatase hydrolysis monophosphoric esters at acid ph; cytidylyltransferase is involved in phospholipid biosynthesis; and amino acid permease aids in transport of amino acids across membranes. a) name the marker molecule and give the number of the fraction that is most enriched for each of the following cell components: lysosomes; peroxisomes; mitochondria; plasma membrane; rough endoplasmic reticulum; smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

As the human population grows, what happens to our natural-resource requirements? o they increase o they decrease o they do not change. they go in cycles
