Summary Introduction
To explain:
The negative feedback in thermoregulation differs from feedback inhibition in an enzyme catalyzed biosynthetic process.
Introduction:
Negative feedback occurs when the end product of an enzyme interferes or decreases the effect of the same enzyme that produced it. The feedback inhibition mechanism is the cellular process in which the end product of an enzyme inhibits the production of the same enzyme that produced it. By this process there is the maintenance of the amount of enzyme required. Both processes help in the regulation of the

MAKE CONNECTIONS Step 3 in Figure 9.9 is a major pointof regulation of glycolysis. The enzyme phosphofructokinaseis allosterically regulated by ATP and related molecules (seeConcept 8.5). Considering the overall result of glycolysis,would you expect ATP to inhibit or stimulate activity of thisenzyme? Explain. (Hint: Make sure you consider the role of ATPas an allosteric regulator, not as a substrate of the enzyme.)
Chapter : Lipid Metabolism"It has been proposed that malonyl CoA may be one of the signals sent to the brain to decrease the appetite response. When mice are given a derivative of cerulenin (a fungal epoxide) named C75, their appetite is suppressed and they rapidly lose weight. Cerulenin and its derivatives have been shown to be potent inhibitors of fatty acid synthase (FAS). Suggest how C75 might act as a potential weight reduction drug"Thanks. Please write the answers clearly.
