cAMP levels decrease when __________. This results in __________ of CAP.

A) lactose levels increase; activation
B) lactose levels decrease; inhibition
C) glucose levels increase; inhibition
D) glucose levels decrease; activation

cAMP Levels

Concentrations of cyclic adenosine monophosphate, a secondary messenger important in many biological processes including signal transduction and intracellular communication.

CAP

A regulatory feature in some RNA molecules or a protein that can influence gene expression; context-dependent.

Glucose Levels

The concentration of glucose in the bloodstream, important for maintaining energy balance in the body.

  • Understand the role of cAMP in gene regulation, particularly in relation to glucose and lactose metabolism.
