... Concept check: Which of these levels is the most energy-efficient way to regulate gene expression? Answer: Transcriptional regulation is the most energy-efficient, because a cell avoids wasting energy making RNA or protein. FIGURE 17.3 Concept check: Explain how an alpha helix is able to function as ...
