← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when an inhibitor binds hexokinase?
A)Increased glucose-6-phosphate concentration
B)Decreased rate of ADP production✓
C)Rate constant for reverse reaction increases
D)Lowered Michaelis constant for glucose
💡 Explanation
Inhibitor binding reduces hexokinase activity by competitive inhibition; because less enzyme is available to effectively catalyze glucose phosphorylation, the production rate of ADP decreases accordingly. Therefore, ADP production drops rather than G6P increasing or changing equilibrium constants.
