feedback inhibition Flashcards
1
Q
feedback inhibition is a subtype of
A
noncompetitive inhibition
2
Q
the end product of a metabolic pathway shuts down the
A
pathway
3
Q
prevents a cell from wasting resources by
A
synthesizing more product than is needed
4
Q
when product is abundant in the cell its binds to the enzyme’s
A
allosteric site
blocks further production of 1st product in the pathway=turn off overall production
5
Q
when then final product of the pathway is use up by the cell, the bound product is
A
removed from the allosteric site of the enzyme site
the enzyme becomes acive again=turn back on the production
