    Which of the following are characteristics of metabolic pathways?

  • Contain many intermediates.

  • Are regulated.

    What would be a typical regulatory system in a metabolic pathway?

  • The pathway’s product slows it down, so that the product is maintained at a constant level in the cell or organism.

  • The pathway’s product makes it go faster, so that more and more of the product builds up in the cell or body.

    Question 7

    Select one answer.

    10 points

    In a metabolic pathway, a typical control mechanism is to have: ________

  • a lack of reactant stimulate the pathway.

  • the final product inhibit the enzyme responsible for its own production.

  • a reactantinhibit a late step.

  • the final product inhibit an early step.

    Which best describes body weight regulation in a normal human who is living in a modern society?

  • Our normal responses of appetite and metabolism tend to cause weight gain in modern societies, and they also tend to make weight loss difficult.

  • Our normal responses of appetite and metabolism ensure that adults remain at a given normal body weight. Any change from this normal weight sets in motion responses that return the body to its normal weight.

    Question 9

    Select one answer.

    10 points

    Which of the following regulatory mechanisms is described incorrectly?

  • All are correct

  • competitive inhibitor: binds to the active site of the enzyme

  • substrate availability: more substrate increases enzyme activity (until it reaches saturation)

  • enzyme modification: enzyme gains or loses a functional group

  • feedback inhibition: product inhibits its own production

    Question 10

    Select one answer.

    10 points

    The fundamental difference between competitive and non-competitive inhibition is: _________________________

  • the size of the active site of the enzyme.

  • the manner of binding of the inhibitor to the enzyme.

  • the manner of binding of the substrate to the enzyme.
