Feed back inhibition of glycolysis

Explanation:

Cell needs to regulate their metabolic pathways and reaction so that resources they have do not get waste and only than much product is formed which is required to be used.

Cellular respiration is most commonly regulated by the feedback inhibition of glycolysis. The most important regulatory step in the feedback inhibition of glycolysis is the phosphofructokinase reaction. This reaction is inhibited by ATP. ATP lower the affinity of enzyme for fructose-6 - phosphate and inhibit the reaction thereby regulate cellular respiration.
