← ScienceWhich outcome results when inhibitors limit enzyme active sites?
A)Reduced product formation rate✓
B)Increased substrate binding affinity
C)Uncontrolled reaction exothermicity
D)Homogeneous catalyst precipitation
💡 Explanation
Reduced product formation results because competitive inhibition blocks substrate access via steric hindrance, decreasing reaction velocity rather than increasing affinity; therefore, reactions slow rather than accelerate, preventing exothermicity or catalyst breakdown.
