Predict the level of genetic activity of the lac operon as well as the status of the lac repressor and the CAP protein under the cellular conditions listed in the accompanying table. Line Lactose Glucose(a) - -(b) + -(c) - +(d) + +The questionas are all similar to the following for each line. Line (a)The repressor is inactive, and CAP is bound to its binding site. The operon is being transcribed at a high level. The repressor is inactive, and CAP is not bound to its binding site. The operon is transcribed at a low level. The repressor is bound to the operator, and CAP is bound to its binding site. The operon is not transcribed. The repressor is bound to the operator, and CAP is not bound to its binding site. The operon is not transcribed.

Aheat engine running backward is called a refrigerator if its purpose is to extract heat from a cold reservoir. the same engine running backward is called a heat pump if its purpose is to exhaust warm air into the hot reservoir. heat pumps are widely used for home heating. you can think of a heat pump as a refrigerator that is cooling the already cold outdoors and, with its exhaust heat qh, warming the indoors. perhaps this seems a little silly, but consider the following. electricity can be directly used to heat a home by passing an electric current through a heating coil. this is a direct, 100% conversion of work to heat. that is, 19.0 \rm kw of electric power (generated by doing work at the rate 19.0 kj/s at the power plant) produces heat energy inside the home at a rate of 19.0 kj/s. suppose that the neighbor's home has a heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 4.00, a realistic value. note: with a refrigerator, "what you get" is heat removed. but with a heat pump, "what you get" is heat delivered. so the coefficient of performance of a heat pump is k=qh/win. an average price for electricity is about 40 mj per dollar. a furnace or heat pump will run typically 200 hours per month during the winter. what does one month's heating cost in the home with a 16.0 kw electric heater? what does one month's heating cost in the home of a neighbor who uses a heat pump to provide the same amount of heating?

If state law mandates that elevators cannot accelerate more than 2.40 m/s2 or travel faster than 14.8 m/s , what is the minimum time in which an elevator can travel the 373 m from the ground floor to the observatory floor? ?

Athird point charge q3 is now positioned halfway between q1 and q2. the net force on q2 now has a magnitude of f2,net = 5.861 n and points away from q1 and q3. what is the value (sign and magnitude) of the charge q3?
