When glucose is present, enzyme IIAglc is and LacY is . a. phosphorylated; inhibited b. not phosphorylated; inhibited c. phosphorylated; activated d. not phosphorylated; activated

Option B, not phosphorylated; inhibited

Explanation:

Glucose 6 acts as a catobolite repressant . A catobolite repressant which is usually a carbon compound inhibits the operon transcription. In the presence of glucose -6, unphosphorylated enzyme IIAGlc  inhibits the transportation system and hence prevents the utilization of lactose. Glucose‐6‐phosphate and other non‐PTS carbon causes inducer exclusion thereby leading to dephosphorylation of enzyme IIAGl without getting transported.

Hence, option B is correct

b.have there own function.

the principles and empirical processes of discovery and demonstration considered characteristic of or necessary for scientific investigation, generally involving the observation of phenomena, the formulation of a hypothesis concerning the phenomena, experimentation to test the hypothesis, and development of a conclusion that confirms, rejects, or modifies the hypothesis.
