Answer:
(C) Competitive inhibition
Explanation:
When a substrate competes with and inhibitor, what they are actually doing is competing by the active site of the enzyme. In terms of probabilities, when there is much more of one molecule of X than its competitor Y, it is more likely for any of the molecules of X to reach the active site of the enzyme than for any of the molecules of Y.
Then is one would like to reduce the effects of an inhibitor reversible bonded to an enzyme, one possibility is to increase the concentration of a substrate (which in turn means that there will be a higher relative number of its molecules in the media), increasing the probability to meet the active site of the enzyme and as a result displacing the inhibitor (assuming it not increased as well).
Competitive inhibition can be overcome when one increases the concentration of substrate in an enzymatic reaction.
It is the obstruction of a chemical pathway resulting due to one chemical substance preventing the effect of another by competing with it for bonding or binding. In competitive inhibition, the binding of an inhibitor inhibits the binding of the enzyme's target molecule, also called substrate.
The competitive inhibition can be prevented or overcome by supplementing more concentration of substrate to the reaction. This will enhance the chances of the substrate and enzyme binding.
Thus, the correct answer is option C, that is, competitive inhibition.
