Question
You perform an experiment, in which you inoculate bacteria into a medium that contains glucose and lactose (a disaccharide composed of two monosaccharides, glucose and
galactose) as a sole source of carbon and energy, then monitor the number of cells and which sugar is being metabolized over time, with the results shown in this figure. All of the
following are correct observations about the results EXCEPT:
(a) Bacteria growing on
glucose as the sole carbon
source grow faster than on
lactose.

(b) Bacteria growing in a
medium containing glucose
and lactose first consume
the glucose and then, after a
short lag time, the lactose.
During the lag time, intra-
cellular CAMP increases, the
lac operon is transcribed,
lactose is transported into
the cell, and B-galacto-
sidase is synthesized to
break down lactose.
The number of cells increased more rapidly when lactose was utilized compared with glucose
The lag time shows that an inducible enzyme had to be produced before lactose metabolism could proceed
The bacteria could use either glucose or lactose as a source of carbon and energy.
None of the other four answers (All are true)
The bacteria preferentially metabolized glucose before starting to metabolize lactose
