If this is what your looking for in cellular respiration:
Aerobic respiration produces energy through the process of cellular respiration, but this energy is not always required, so the cell has measures in place to stop the production of energy when not required (becoming mostly fat)
This is done by the cell through feedback inhibition which relies on a product created in the process to stop (inhibit) more production or the continuation of the production of the product. For example, in cellular respiration, if the cell does not require more ATP (energy) then ATP will inhibit a specific enzyme used in the process of glycolysis. (no glycolysis, no more wasted ATP) So ATP, being the product, can stop or inhibit the process that creates it.
The ATP is able to bond to an allosteric site on a specific enzyme and inhibit it from catalyzing a reaction producing more of what a cell does not presently require.
Simply said; It is a way to regulate the production of substances in the cell whereby enzymes are inhibited by their downstream products.
Hope this helps...

What is the general features of allosteric regulation using the feedback inhibition?
enzymes situated at key steps in metabolic pathways are modulated by allosteric effectors these effectors are usually produced elsewhere in the pathway effectors may be feed-forward activators or feedback inhibitors kinetics are sigmoid ("S-shaped")
How do heterotrophs get nutrients?
Heterotrophs have adapted a wide range of feeding habits for example:ParasitismDetretivorismHerbivorismCarnivorismOmnivorismSymbiosisSaprobiosis
Why is sunlight important to animals?
because if they had no sunlight they wouldn't have the energy they need to use respiration in cells
Why is it important to have both cellular respiration and photosynthises?
Because they feed off of each other, the reactants of one are the products from another: cellular respiration products are oxygen and glucose, and it's products are carbon dioxide and water- photosynthesis' reactants are carbon dioxide and water, and it's products are oxygen and glucose.
Feedback that tends to magnify a process or increase its output?
Is called positive feed back .
What is Role of allosteric enzyme in regulation of purine synthesis?
if the purine synthesis is excess then extra product will bind to the allosteric site then feed back inhibition occurs
What does the control center do in the negative feed back cycle?
That is very hi tech question! There should be no role of any control center in negative feed back mechanism. Both should regulate each other. But then the control center is required to do the up regulation or down regulation in this negative feed back mechanism. For example your blood pressure may get set at higher level in case of chronic psychological stress. Such stress is so common now a days.

Do enzymes slow down reactions in your body?
No, they speed them up by lowering the activation energy of reactions. The body has other ways to slow reactions. Concentration of enzymes, inhibition of enzymes, sometimes by negative feed back mechanisms.
What does the American Feed Industry Association do?
One of the primary goals of the AFIA is to represent the interests of the feed industry on federal legislation and regulation
