The mechanism in which the end product of a metabolic pathway inhibits an earlier step in the pathway is most precisely described as
a) metabolic inhibition
b) feedback inhibition
c) allosteric inhibition
d) noncooperative inhibition

The correct answer is: B) feedback inhibition

This is an example of negative feedback: product of a process reduces the stimulus of the same process. It is the way of regulation in biological systems and the way the organism maintains its homeostasis (internal balance). Negative feedback is present in many biological processes such as regulation of blood sugar, temperature regulation, the actions of some enzymes..

well, you see. the answer to your question is quite simple. the thing that is big, powerful, and over 9,000 is your mom.

1. a host loses nutrients to a parasite

2. a parasite only benefits when the host is alive (cause if the host dies the parasite dies with it )

3. producers to consumers

4. the tapeworm is a parasite

5. they convert energy from the sun (photosynthesis)

6. sunflower-robin (i think im 80% sure)

7. producer

8. consumer

9. prey

10. fresh water snails ( cause the green algea is the producer and the snails are the primary consumers and the small fish consumer so is the big fish)
