Enzymes regulated by which method act only once in a process, or only under specific physiological conditions?

  • A.Induction and repression
  • B.Covalent modification
  • C.Isoenzyme
  • D.Non-covalent regulation of enzyme

Answer: A

Correct answer: Induction and repression

Enzymes controlled by induction and repression are those needed only in particular circumstances - when an unusual substrate appears, or at one stage of the cell cycle. Making them only when required saves the cell the expense of maintaining enzymes it would rarely use; the price is that the response takes minutes to hours rather than seconds.
