An enzyme inhibitor works with the enzyme in a chemical reaction. Which statement best describes how an enzyme inhibitor and an enzyme work in a catalyzed reaction? (5 points) a The enzyme inhibitor catalyzes the reverse reaction, which counteracts the work of the enzyme. b The enzyme inhibitor attacks and destroys the enzyme, which prevents the enzyme from helping in the reaction. c The enzyme inhibitor binds to the products of the reaction, which makes the work of the enzyme unproductive. d The enzyme inhibitor fits into the enzyme's active site, which prevents the enzyme from catalyzing the reaction.

The correct answer is option D. The enzyme inhibitor fits into the enzyme's active site, which prevents the enzyme from catalyzing the reaction.

Explanation:

Enzyme inhibitors are the biochemical or chemical substance which hinders the role and function of the enzyme by binding to the active site of an enzyme.

These can be explained into two categories:  

Irreversible inhibitors: They bound to the enzyme with the assistance of covalent bonds and alters the affinity of the enzyme towards the substrate by changing the state of the dynamic destinations.  

Reversible inhibitors: Theses are the particles that bind to the enzyme's active site with the assistance of non-covalent bonds, for example, hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic bonds, and others.

Thus, the correct answer is : option D.

one characteristic that is shared by all is a soft body. many

of these invertebrate animals also have an outer shell to protect their

body. oysters, clams, snails, and mussels are all mollusks. so are octopuses, squids, and slugs. mollusks live on land and in freshwater.
