Title: Re: Explain the advantage to a cell in storing an enzyme in an inactive form. Post by: psyche360 on Sep 13, 2016 Picture this as an analogy, a factory making hand grenades, but they don't produce them with a pin to prevent explosions. That factory wouldn't stay in business very long.
Title: Re: Explain the advantage to a cell in storing an enzyme in an inactive form. Post by: DLS on Sep 13, 2016 A cell may store an enzyme in an inactive form in order to protect the cell. For example, the active form of the enzyme could have "destructive" functions and an always-active enzyme like this might be destructive to the cell.
