Given data: The metabolic pathway is described with the help of the following statements:
1. L forms either N or M and M forms O.
2. O will form either R or P, R form S and P will form Q.
3. The reaction from L to M is inhibited by O.
4. The reaction from O to R is inhibited by S and from O to P is inhibited by Q.
The inhibition reaction should be drawn with the help of red colored arrows and a minus sign.
Introduction: The cell possesses an ability to regulate the pathways (metabolic) by controlling the activity of various enzymes. This is done by switching off or on the gene which encodes for particular enzymes. There would be occurrences of chemical chaos, if the metabolic pathways of a cell operate simultaneously, so they are operated distinctly.
To determine: Which of the given reactions from the branched metabolic pathway would prevail, if Q and S will be present in higher concentrations.

Which of the following statements are TRUE? Multiple answers: Multiple answers are accepted for this question Select one or more answers and submit. For keyboard navigation. SHOW MORE The Km for X will be affected if Y is present in the reaction mixture. a Y is a competitive inhibitor of X. The Km for X will increase. d The Vmax for X will be affected if Y is present in the reaction mixture. pH dependence of Vmax reflects the ionization state of catalytic site residues. e Consider the following: X and Y are methanol (poisonous) and ethanol respectively. If the Km for X= 0.01 M and the Km f for Y = 0.001 M then 0.01 M Y is 10 times the concentration of Y required for 0.5 Vmax.
