2. During enzyme-catalyzed reactions, an increase in substrate concentration can reverse inhibition produced by

A. Competitive inhibitors
B. Non-competitive inhibitors
C. Irreversible inhibitors
D. Heavy metal poisoning

📝 Explanation

Competitive inhibition is reversible because substrate molecules can outcompete the inhibitor at high concentrations. Non-competitive and irreversible inhibitors cannot be overcome this way. Concept tested: Effect of substrate concentration on inhibition.
