Keeping in mind the life cycle of bacteriophages, consider the following problem: during the reproductive cycle of a temperate bacteriophage, the viral dna inserts into the bacterial chromosome where the resultant prophage behaves much like a trojan horse. it can remain quiescent, or it can become lytic and initiate a burst of progeny viruses. several operons maintain the prophage state by interacting with a repressor that keeps the lytic cycle in check. insults (ultraviolet light, for example) to the bacterial cell lead to a partial breakdown of the repressor, which in turn causes the production of enzymes involved in the lytic cycle. as stated in this simple form, would you consider this system of regulation to be operating under positive or negative control?

True or false: (a) the strings of little red dots represent carbohydrates. (b) the model is called a bilayer because there are two main types of molecules present, lipids and proteins. (c) the many black lines represent amino acid tails. (d) this model shows membrane transport. (e) the blue ovals are hydrophobic. (f) the blue ovals represent phospholipid heads.

Cells must be in osmotic equilibrium with their surroundings environments because if they swell or shrink thier membranes will rupture
