Answer;
-Inhibitors
Chemical mechanisms that can turn off or reduce an enzyme are inhibitors.
Explanation;
-Enzyme inhibitors are molecules or compounds that bind to enzymes and result in a decrease in their activity. They can bind to an enzyme and stop a substrate from entering the enzyme's active site and/or prevent the enzyme from catalyzing a chemical reaction.
-Enzyme inhibitors are classified as either competitive or non-competitive inhibitors. Competitive inhibition occurs when the substrate and a substance resembling the substrate are both added to the enzyme.
-Non-competitive inhibitors are considered to be substances which when added to the enzyme alter the enzyme in a way that it cannot accept the substrate.
The food we consume is then processed and essentially extirpated into two forms, waste and nutrients. The nutrient rich category is used, or stored for when needed. Similarly, sugar is either used for energy once consumed, or stored in fat cells for when needed.
