Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In negative feedback control of enzymes, a build-up in the amount of ____ decreases the activity in the enzyme.
A
ATP
B
reactants
C
substrates
D
products
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Negative feedback results in the inhibition of an enzyme in a biochemical pathway, reducing the activity of earlier enzymes, and stopping the pathway. Positive feedback results in the activation of more enzymes, thus increasing its production of the product.

Detailed explanation-2: -Negative feedback inhibition occurs when the product of a biological reaction stops the reaction from continuing to occur. For example, feedback inhibition occurs when enough product is made, and the cell needs to stop making the product. Feedback inhibition is how a cell stops additional products from being made.

Detailed explanation-3: -In feedback inhibition, binding of the end product to the allosteric site slows down or stops the enzyme’s activity so that little or no new end product is produced. When levels of the end product drop, the enzyme will encounter fewer particles of the end product and its activity will increase again.

Detailed explanation-4: -Regulatory molecules. Enzymes can be regulated by other molecules that either increase or reduce their activity. Molecules that increase the activity of an enzyme are called activators, while molecules that decrease the activity of an enzyme are called inhibitors.
