FALSE!!
Endotoxins are just the lipid parts of a gram negative cell wall that have broken off when the bacteria dies. They are moderately toxic, cause fever and can make you pretty sick.
Exotoxins are proteins made by pathogenic bacteria (mostly gram positive). These highly toxic. Examples of diseases caused by these are diphtheria, botulism and tetanus. 
Therefore it doesn't take much exotoxin to cause a problem!

Phosphofructokinase is an allosteric enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate,
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The correct answer is a Inhibit the enzyme and slow the rates of Glycolysis and citric acid cycle.

Explanation:

ATP accumulation result in blocking the activity of the rate limiting enzyme  of glycolysis  Phosphofructokinase that catalyses the conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose -1,6-bisphosphate .

            ATP is an Allosteric inhibitor of Phosphofructokinase enzyme and this enzymatic inhibition decreases the rate of glycolysis and as the rate of glycolysis decreases the rate of TCA cycle is also decreased because TCA cycle  depends on glycolytic end product Pyruvate. As glycolysis rate is decreased pyruvate is not formed in a sufficient amount to carry out its conversion to Acetyl CoA  and enters into TCA Cycle.
