Question

Let's say that a series of enzymatic reactions results in the conversion of glycogen to glucose monomers. How would enzymes and the amount of glucose produced be affected if negative feedback occurred in this pathway? If positive feedback occurred, what would be the effects?

a) In negative feedback, enzymes would be inhibited, and the amount of glucose produced would be reduced. In positive feedback, enzymes would be activated, increasing glucose production.
b) In negative feedback, enzymes would be activated, and the amount of glucose produced would be increased. In positive feedback, enzymes would be inhibited, decreasing glucose production.
c) In negative feedback, enzymes would be inhibited, and the amount of glucose produced would be increased. In positive feedback, enzymes would be activated, increasing glucose production.
d) In negative feedback, enzymes would be activated, and the amount of glucose produced would be reduced. In positive feedback, enzymes would be inhibited, decreasing glucose production.

Answer 1

In negative feedback, enzymes are inhibited and the amount of glucose produced is reduced. In positive feedback, enzymes are activated, increasing glucose production.

Step-by-step explanation:

In negative feedback, enzymes would be inhibited, and the amount of glucose produced would be reduced. In positive feedback, enzymes would be activated, increasing glucose production.
