High concentration of NADH inhibits:
Correct answer: A. Pyruvate decarboxylase
- A. Pyruvate decarboxylase
- B. Phosphofructokinase
- C. Glucokinase
- D. Pyruvate phosphatases
Explanation
When excess NADH accumulates, the enzymes that produce NADH from NAD+ will be inhibited. High concentrations of NADH inhibit pyruvate dehydrogenase activity.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
