James is working with the lac operon of Escherichia coli (E. coli). He places the bacteria on a plate of growth media. The lac Operon of E. coli is shown. Based on the current understanding of this operon, which hypothesis would be useful for James to test? Addition of allolactose to the bacterial growth media should increase the speed at which the bacteria metabolize the sugar lactose. Removal of the RNA polymerase molecule should increase the amount of bacterial growth on the plate. Addition of the fruit sugar, fructose, should inhibit bacterial growth. Splicing the genes of the bacteria with other organisms should increase bacterial growth rates

With the description of the different cell walls, membranes, and associated proteins set in the students' minds, you now need to introduce them to the idea that the cell wall can also act as a foundation to build things upon. bacterial appendages require a strong foundation that will offer the support needed to move and function in a dynamic world. for example, flagella are long, whiplike protein structures that are used by many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria for locomotion. in order to function effectively, a flagellum must be firmly anchored to the cell wall. how will you be able to get across the idea that the peptidoglycan cell wall is strong enough to support such a mechanism? with a protein rod that passes through the cell wall and protein rings used to anchor it in the membranes, these basal bodies are the rudimentary biological motors that use atp power to spin the hook and the flagella attached to it. bacterial flagella have a biological motor that spins within the cell wall and is powered by atp. this allows the flagella to spin in a whiplike motion to propel the bacterium.
