When the enzyme binds to the substrate, what happens to the activation energy of the reaction?
The activation energy is decreased
The activation energy is increased
The activation energy stays the same
Name the type of inhibition that occurs when an inhibitor molecule binds to the active site of the enzyme and stops the substrate from binding?
Feedback inhibition
Non-competitive inhibition

What is the type of inhibition that occurs when an inhibitor binds to a different part of the enzyme and changes the active site shape?
Which coloured line indicates the reaction rate of a non-competitive inhibitor?
Red
Orange
Green
Which coloured line indicates the reaction rate of a competitive inhibitor?
What term describes an end product in a metabolic pathway binding to an enzyme at the start of a metabolic pathway in order to stop the process?
