Questions: Select the statements that describe the diagram depicting enzyme action. The figure above is an example of feedback inhibition. The figure above is an example of competitive inhibition. The figure above is an example of non-competitive inhibition. The figure above is an example of a metabolic pathway. The figure above illustrates an irreversible process.

Solution Steps

The diagram shows the end product inhibiting the first enzyme in the pathway, which is characteristic of feedback inhibition. This is confirmed by the checkmark next to "The figure above is an example of feedback inhibition."

Competitive inhibition involves a substance competing with the substrate for binding to the active site of an enzyme. The diagram does not show this type of inhibition, as the inhibition occurs at a different site. This is confirmed by the unchecked box next to "The figure above is an example of competitive inhibition."

Non-competitive inhibition involves an inhibitor binding to an enzyme at a site other than the active site, altering the enzyme's function. The diagram does not depict this type of inhibition. This is confirmed by the unchecked box next to "The figure above is an example of non-competitive inhibition."
