Question

The rate limiting reaction of aerobic respiration involves the phosphorylation of __________ by the enzyme _______ . The rate at which this enzyme makes product is ___________when ATP levels rise because the molecule ___________binds to an _________ site on the enzyme and acts as a(n)_________ . When ATP levels fall ________ binds to ________of ____________. This interaction leads to an increase of cellular ___________ , so that this is a n example of a ___________ feedback loop.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The rate limiting reaction of aerobic respiration involves the phosphorylation of fructose phosphate by the enzyme phosphofructokinase. The rate at which this enzyme makes product is [increased, decreased] when ATP levels rise because the molecule ATP binds to an allosteric site on the enzyme and acts as a direct inhibitor. When ATP levels fall AMP binds to the allosteric site of phosphofructokinase. This interaction leads to an increase of cellular ATP, so that this is an example of a negative feedback loop.
