Which of the Following Can Be Used as a Metabolic

Question

Which of the following can be used as a metabolic control mechanism?
A) Enzyme compartmentation
B) Action of hormones
C) Covalent modification of an enzyme
D) Regulation of enzyme degradation
E) All of the above

Accepted Answer

All of the above options can be used as metabolic control mechanisms. Enzyme compartmentation keeps enzymes in specific locations for efficient metabolic pathways. Hormones can signal the need for increased or decreased metabolism. Covalent modification of an enzyme can activate or deactivate its function. Regulation of enzyme degradation can control the levels of enzymes available for metabolic pathways.
