Which factor is necessary for the regulation of enzyme activity? A) Higher product concentration. B) Presence of allosteric regulators. C) Increased substrate concentration. D) Consistent temperature and pH.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking which specific factor is essential for regulating the activity of enzymes. The options provided suggest several conditions or influences on enzyme function.
Answer
Presence of allosteric regulators
The final answer is B) Presence of allosteric regulators.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is B) Presence of allosteric regulators.
More Information
Allosteric regulators are molecules that bind to an enzyme at a site other than the active site, causing a change in its activity. This type of regulation is essential for the fine-tuning of enzyme activity in biological systems.
Tips
A common mistake is to confuse factors that affect enzyme activity (temperature and pH) with regulatory mechanisms like allosteric regulation.
