← ScienceWhich consequence results when a competitive inhibitor binds to an enzyme?
A)The reaction rate decreases✓
B)The substrate binding increases
C)The enzyme structure denatures entirely
D)The activation energy is lowered
💡 Explanation
When a competitive inhibitor binds, it blocks the active site; therefore, the reaction rate decreases because the substrate can't bind effectively, involving enzyme inhibition, rather than increased binding or denaturation.
