Inducible operons, like the LAC operon, are usually off and require energy or a signal to turn on gene expression.
An inducible operon, like the LAC operon, typically has its gene expression turned off and requires energy or a specific molecule to activate it.

|---|---|
| Back | - the coding for polypeptide is usually turned off - energy needed to turn on |
