The enzyme activity can be completely stopped by

Options

  1. ARemoving its product as fast as it is formed
  2. BDoubling its concentration
  3. CDecreasing its concentration
  4. DBlocking its active site

Correct answer

D. Blocking its active site

Step-by-step solution

An active site of an enzyme is a crevice or pocket into which the substrate fits. Thus, enzymes catalyze reactions at a high rate through their active site. Once the site is blocked, the enzyme-substrate reaction is stopped, as the substrate cannot complete the reaction without forming its complex with the enzyme at the active site.
