### Competitive and Noncompetitive Inhibition in Enzymatic Reactions

Figure 5.3 illustrates various molecules involved in enzyme inhibition processes.

#### Key Components:
- **a.** Enzyme: A protein that catalyzes biochemical reactions.
- **b.** Substrate: The molecule upon which an enzyme acts.
- **c.** Competitive Inhibitor: A molecule that competes with the substrate for binding to the active site of the enzyme.
- **d.** Noncompetitive Inhibitor: A molecule that binds to an enzyme at a different site (not the active site), altering the enzyme's function.

#### Quiz Question:
**Which two substances both compete for the binding site a. on the enzyme shown in Figure 5.3?**

*Options:*
1. d. and e.
2. c. and d.
3. The answer cannot be determined based on the information provided.
4. c. and e.

**Correct Answer: c. and d.**

*Explanation:*
- In Figure 5.3, substances c (substrate) and d (competitive inhibitor) are depicted. Both of these substances compete directly for the active site of the enzyme. The noncompetitive inhibitor (e) binds at a different site, not competing with the substrate for the active site.
