The substances which reduce the activity of enzyme action are called?
Correct answer: D. Inhibitors
- A. Reducers
- B. Activators
- C. Promotors
- D. Inhibitors
Explanation
Substances that reduce the activity of enzyme action are called enzyme inhibitors.Enzyme inhibitors are molecules that bind to enzymes and interfere with their normal function, often by either slowing down the enzyme's catalytic activity or completely blocking it. Enzyme inhibitors can have various mechanisms of action, including competitive inhibition, non-competitive inhibition, and uncompetitive inhibition, among others.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
