A competitive inhibitor of an enzyme
Abinds permanently away from the active site
Braises the temperature inside the enzyme
Cresembles the substrate and occupies the active site
Dsplits the enzyme into smaller pieces
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. resembles the substrate and occupies the active site
Competitive inhibition: the inhibitor is shape-similar to the substrate and competes for the active site. Excess substrate can outcompete it. Inhibitors that bind away from the active site (allosteric / non-competitive) act differently. Inhibitors don't raise temperature or fragment the enzyme.
