Suppose a particular protein is produced in excess of the cellʼs needs. What kind of mechanism will intervene to stop production?

A) growth
B) catabolic
C) metabolic
D) respiratory
E) homeostatic

Homeostatic Mechanism

Biological processes that maintain the internal conditions of an organism within narrow limits despite changes in external environments.

Protein Production

The biological process in which cells build proteins based on the genetic instructions encoded in DNA.

Catabolic

A metabolic pathway that breaks down molecules into smaller units, releasing energy in the process.
