Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement correctly describes feedback inhibition, where the product of a metabolic pathway inhibits an earlier step to regulate the flux through the pathway. In this case, glucose-6-phosphate inhibits the activity of hexokinase, which catalyzes the first step of glycolysis.
