All of the following statements about competitive and non competitive inhibitors are true EXCEPT:
(a) Competitive inhibitors are structurally similar to an enzyme's substrate and bind to the enzyme's allosteric site.
(b) Competitive inhibitors work by competing with a sub strate for binding to an enzyme's active site.
(c) Noncompetitive inhibitors can bind at sites other than the active site of an enzyme, distorting the tertiary pro tein structure, which alters the shape of the active site, rendering it ineffective for substrate binding.
(d) Some noncompetitive inhibitors bind reversibly while some bind irreversibly to their enzyme.
