Step-by-Step Analysis
Question restated: Enzyme regulation by negative feedback involves which of the following mechanisms?
Option 1: allosteric inhibition of an enzyme by a product of its metabolic pathway. This aligns with the classic concept of negative feedback in biochemical pathways, where a downstream product binds to an allosteric site on an early enzyme to reduce its activity, thereby slowing......Login to view full explanationLog in for full answers

A tissue culture of vertebrate muscle was provided with a constant excess supply of glucose under anaerobic conditions starting at time zero and the amounts of pyruvic acid and ATP produced were measured. The solid line in the graph above represents the pyruvic acid produced in moles per liter per minute. ATP levels were also found to be highest at points A and C, lowest at B and D. A second culture was set up under the same conditions, except that substance X was added, and the results are indicated by the dotted line. The rate of pyruvic acid formation fluctuates because
