A series of enzymes catalyze the reaction X Y Z A. Product A binds to the enzyme that converts X to Y at a position remote from
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

Option B, an allosteric inhibitor.

Explanation:

As the enzyme activity decreases, it is not possible for A to be a coenzyme (most likely would increase the enzyme activity), a substrate (increases activity of enzyme by Le Chatler's principle) or an intermediate (no effect). A is unlikely to be a competitive inhibitor as this would not decrease the activity of the enzyme, only  reduce the rate of conversion of substrate to product. A is most likely an allosteric inhibitor which binds to another site on the enzyme (other than the active site), resulting in a change in conformation of the enzyme which reduces the enzymatic activity.

Low folic acid during pregnancy can result in _____.
nlexa [21]
<span>Folic acid (vitamin B9) deficiency during pregnancy can result in a baby born with defects in the brain or spinal cord. The worst version of these defects is anencephaly, where the baby is born without part of its brain and skull, and dies. The most common birth defect after folic acid deficiency during pregnancy is Spina Bifida. This occurs when part of the baby's spinal cord remains outside the body. The baby may have paralyzed legs and, later, may develop bladder and bowel control problems.</span>
