Which outcome influences reaction rate when an inhibitor binds competitively?

💡 Explanation

Competitive inhibition reduces the apparent rate constant because it decreases enzyme active sites available for reactants rather than increasing the activation energy. Therefore, reaction slows; equilibrium is unchanged rather than shifting to products.
