A. Regulation of metabolic pathways
✓
B. Permanent synthesis of new enzymes
C. Continuous activation of all enzymes
D. Elimination of cofactors from cells

📝 Explanation

Many enzyme inhibitors regulate metabolic pathways by controlling enzyme activity. The other options do not represent normal biological roles of inhibitors. Concept tested: Physiological importance of inhibitors.
