The rate of an enzyme catalyzed reaction:
Correct answer: A. Can be reduced by inhibitors
- A. Can be reduced by inhibitors
- B. Is constant under standard conditions
- C. Cannot be measured
- D. Decreases as the substrate concentration increases
Explanation
Enzyme inhibitors are molecules that interact with enzymes (temporary or permanent) in some way and reduce the rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction or prevent enzymes from working in a normal manner.

About Enzymes
Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower activation energy without being consumed, and their specificity is explained by the lock and key and induced fit models. Work includes the effects of temperature, pH and substrate concentration on reaction rate, plus competitive and non-competitive inhibition and how these differ.
