Which of the following mechanisms is (are) used to coordinate the expression of multiple, related genes in eukaryotic cells?

One of the ways that cells balance anabolism and catabolism is to

A) use feedback inhibition to shut down a pathway that is not needed. B) use the same enzyme to run a reaction in both the catabolic and anabolic direction.
