Answer 1

The mechanisms for regyulating amount of an enzyme and regulating enzyme activity are listed below:

Explanation:

Mechanisms for regulating the amount of an enzyme:

• Genetic and covalent modification
• Enzyme inhibition
• Allosteric regulation

Mechanisms for regulating the enzyme activity:

• Compartmentalization
• Regulation of substrate concentration
• Genetic contro
• Alteration of environmental factors like pH, and processing of zymogens
