here is what I got
The lac operon of E. coli contains genes that are involved in lactose metabolism and can only be found when glucose is absent and lactose is present in metabolism. The two regulators turn the operon on and off in response to lactose and glucose level. The lac repressor acts as a lactose sensor which normally blocks transcription of the operon, but stops acting as a repressor when lactose is present through its isomer lactose. Catabolite activator protein acts as a glucose sensor, it activates the data of the operon, but only when glucose levels are low. Catabolite activator protein senses glucose indirectly, through hunger factor molecule location.
try to reword it so you don't get caught
Help me rephrase the answer into just three to five sentences
question- The lactose (lac) operon in E. coli is an example of a gene that is repressed when lactose is not available in a cell. In 3-5 sentences, explain what this means, using correct terminology.
answer- The lac operon of E. coli contains genes that are involved in lactose metabolism. This will only be found when glucose is absent and lactose is present in metabolism. The two regulators turn the operon on and off in response to lactose and glucose levels. the lac repressor acts as a lactose sensor. It normally blocks transcription of the operon, but stops acting as a repressor when lactose is present. The lac repressor senses lactose indirectly through its isomer lactose. Catabolite activator protein acts as a glucose sensor, it activates the data of the operon, but only when glucose levels are low. Catabolie activator protein senses glucose indirectly, through hunger factor molecule location.
