B) increases the overall rate of the reaction
C) is without effect
D) the observed effect depends on the inhibitor
E) competitive inhibitors do not affect the rate of the reaction

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In competitive inhibition, increasing the concentration of substrate can overcome the inhibitor by outcompeting it for the active site, thus increasing the overall rate of the reaction.
