Question

Your liver produces 90% of the cholesterol found in your body. When cholesterol levels get too high, the first enzyme in the pathway of cholesterol synthesis is inhibited. This is an example of: O Negative feedback Equilibrium Positive feedback O Denaturation A coenzyme

Answer 1

Ans - Negative feedback

This is an example of feedback inhibition in which the end product of the reaction controls the activity of the enzyme which is involved in the pathway of its synthesis. In this way the when cholesterol level is high, its further synthesis is inhibited by inhibiting the enzyme involved in the pathway of cholesterol synthesis.
