-The inhibition can be reversed by increasing the concentration of substrate.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This description is characteristic of competitive inhibition, where the inhibitor and substrate compete for the active site of the enzyme. Increasing the concentration of substrate can overcome the inhibition in this case. Noncompetitive inhibition, on the other hand, involves binding at a site other than the active site and cannot be overcome by increasing substrate concentration.
