An agonist exhibit a positive biological effect similar to the receptor it stimulates. For instance, beta agonists (i.e. Salbutamol) stimulate the beta receptors in the bronchial system therefore leading to bronchodialtion. A competitive antagonist negates the function of the specific receptor by binding to the receptor binding site before the biological ligand. A non-competitive agonist negates the function of the specific receptor by binding to an allosteric site leading to a conformational change of the receptor site.

In what pattern does the flow of energy in the ecosystem take place
Aliun [14]
The pattern of the flow of energy in the ecosystem take place in an unidirectional pattern. In the ecosystem, unidirectional pattern of energy flow should be present, following the law of thermodynamics which states that the amount of energy in the universe is constant. It cannot be created or destroyed, however, it may be changed into another form of energy. Example: chemical to heat. The law also says that without degradation into heat energy, non-random energies like mechanical, chemical or radiant energy cannot be changed.
