Suppose that following a lava flow, pine grass (a hypothetical species) is the first species to colonize the area. Chemicals pro
duced by pine grass change the soil chemistry in the environment, but these chemicals have little or no effect on subsequent colonization by later species. Which model would best explain this scenario of succession?
Competitive inhibitors are characterized by being chemicals that are similar to the normal substrate. While non-competitive inhibitors are chemicals that bind to the enzyme and alter its shape. This renders the active site of the enzyme ineffective against the substrate. Tolerance makes a society that is fair and equitable.
