is a regulatory mechanism in which the end product of a metabolic pathway inhibits an enzyme that catalyzes an early step in the pathway. is a regulatory mechanism in which the end product of a metabolic pathway inhibits an enzyme that catalyzes an early step in the pathway. A. Cooperative inhibition B. Allosteric inhibition C. Feedback inhibition D. Metabolic inhibition

Option C) Feedback inhibition

Feedback inhibition is a regulatory mechanism in which the end product of a metabolic pathway inhibits an enzyme that catalyzes an early step in the pathway.

Explanation:

Feedback inhibition is a regulatory mechanism in which a biochemical pathway is regulated by the amount of the product that the pathway produces. Thus, it is also known as end-point inhibition.

For example:

The accumulation of ATP inhibits the action of phosphofructokinase, the enzyme that catalyzes the rate-limiting step of glycolysis
