Answer true or false to the following statements based on the graphic:
1. Increasing the number of inhibitors will decrease the overall rate of reaction.
2. Allosteric inhibitors block the active site.
3. Allosteric inhibitors change the shape of the enzyme.
4. Adding a competitive inhibitor will increase the number of products in the reaction.
5. Competitive inhibitors bind to the substrates.

Answer

  1. True. Increasing the number of inhibitors typically decreases the overall rate of reaction by preventing substrate binding.

  2. False. Allosteric inhibitors do not block the active site; they bind to a different site, causing a change in enzyme shape.

  3. True. Allosteric inhibitors change the shape of the enzyme, affecting its activity.

  4. False. Adding a competitive inhibitor usually decreases the number of products by competing with the substrate for the active site.

  5. False. Competitive inhibitors bind to the active site of the enzyme, not the substrates.
