Phosphorylation and allosteric control of enzymes.
A) are not involved in reactions of carbohydrates.
B) play an insignificant role in generating energy.
C) are important processes in prokaryotes, but not in eukaryotes.
D) can be combined to afford a high degree of control over enzymatic reactions.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both phosphorylation and allosteric control of enzymes can affect the activity of an enzyme, and when combined can provide a high degree of control over enzymatic reactions. This is particularly important in regulating metabolic pathways and ensuring that energy is produced and used efficiently. These processes are important in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. While they may not be directly involved in reactions of carbohydrates, they can play a role in regulating the enzymes involved in these reactions. Therefore, A and B are incorrect.
