ad-work [718]

Answer:

Adding more substrate would overcome  the effect of the compound

Explanation:

  • Enzymes are biochemical catalysts that speed up chemical reactions. They act on specific substrate to convert them to products.
  • Compounds known as inhibitors slow down the rate of enzyme activity.
  • Inhibitors are classified as competitive and non-competitive inhibitors.
  • Competitive inhibitors will compete with the substrate to bind the active sites on the enzyme. The effect of competitive inhibitors may be reduced by increasing the concentration of the substrate.
  • The compound added by the biologist was a competitive inhibitor and therefore adding more substrate would overcome its effect on enzyme catalysis
  • Non-competitive inhibitors binds the active site of the enzyme permanently and prevents the substrate from accessing the active sites.
