Answer: (I hope you can understand this)

                                           

Type of operon:                                   Trp

                                             It’s a repressible operon        

                                                            Lac

                                            It’s an inducible operon.

Environment:    

                                                             Trp

              It’s deactivated when tryptophan is present in the environment.

                                                            Lac

              It’s activated when lactose is present in the environment.

Repressor protein:

                                                      Trp

                                       It’s activated by tryptophan.

                                                              Lac

                                           It’s inactivated by lactose.

Transcription:

                                                               Trp

                   Tryptophan binds to the repressor protein, activating it.

                                                               Lac

            Lactose binds to the repressor protein, deactivating it.

Type of operon:

Trp operon is a repressible operon

Lac operon is an inducible operon.

Environment:

Trp operon is deactivated when tryptophan is present in the environment.

Lac operon is activated when lactose is present in the environment.

Repressor protein:

Trp operon is activated by tryptophan through bonding to the repressor protein

Lac operon is inactivated by lactose through binding to the repressor protein.

Transcription:

Trp operon -Tryptophan binds to the repressor protein, activating it, thus preventing active transcription of Trp operon.

Lac operon - Lactose binds to the repressor protein, deactivating it, thus allowing for active transcription of Lac operon.

An operon is a unit of DNA found in prokaryotes, containing a cluster of genes under the control of a single promoter and which performs a specific function. Examples of operons are the tryptophan (Trp) and lactose (Lac) operons.

Trp operon is responsible for tryptophan synthesis while Lac operon is  responsible for lactose transportation and metabolism.
