  What would be a typical regulatory system in a metabolic pathway?

• The pathway’s product slows it down, so that the product is maintained at a constant level in the cell or organism.

  Which best describes body weight regulation in a normal human who is living in a modern society?

• Our normal responses of appetite and metabolism tend to cause weight gain in modern societies, and they also tend to make weight loss difficult.

• Our normal responses of appetite and metabolism ensure that adults remain at a given normal body weight. Any change from this normal weight sets in motion responses that return the body to its normal weight.
