Where, on the enzyme, will a competitive inhibitor bind?
a. active site
b. allosteric site
c. both of these simultaneously
d. both of these at different times
e. neither A nor B

Inhibitors may be defined as the chemical that can binds with the substrate and inhibits the reaction. The competition can be overcome by adding the large amount of substrate.

The inhibitor compete and binds to the active site of substrate. This decreases the rate of the reaction and may inhibit it also. The target molecule is unable to binds with the substrate and inhibitor blocks the active site of the enzyme.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).

Where, on the enzyme, will a competitive inhibitor bind? a. active site b. allosteric site c. both of these simultaneously d. both of these at different times e. neither A nor B
