Question

inhibition of an enzyme occurs when the inhibitor mimics the substrate and occupies the active site of the enzyme, whereas ___________ inhibition occurs when an inhibitor binds to a regulatory site on the enzyme that is separate and distinct from the active site

Answer 1

Answer: whereas NONCOMPETITIVE inhibition occurs when an inhibitor binds to a regulatory site on the enzyme that is separate and distinct from the active site noncompetitive inhibition

Explanation:

In a noncompetitive inhibition an inhibitor tends to bind the enzymes in a site that is away from the active site and can sometimes block the active site.

The active site based on biology is the site of an enzyme in which the substrate molecules bind and go through a chemical reaction.
