How is enzyme activity regulated by feedback inhibition?

A) The end product of the metabolic pathway inactivates the first enzyme in the pathway.
B) The end product of the metabolic pathway inactivates the last enzyme in the pathway.
C) The end product of the metabolic pathway induces the first enzyme in the pathway.
D) The end product of the metabolic pathway degrades the first enzyme in the pathway.
E) The end product of the metabolic pathway degrades the last enzyme in the pathway.

Feedback Inhibition

A type of enzyme regulation in which the accumulation of the product of a reaction inhibits an earlier reaction in the sequence; also known as end product inhibition.

Enzyme Activity

The measure of the rate at which an enzyme catalyzes a reaction, converting substrate molecules into products.

Metabolic Pathway

A series of chemical reactions in a cell that build up or break down molecules for vital processes.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Feedback inhibition involves the end product of a metabolic pathway binding to and inactivating the first enzyme in the pathway, thus preventing the overproduction of the end product.
