Question

C) References How can competitive and noncompetitive inhibition be distinguished in terms of Vax? OThe Vmax decreases with both a competitive inhibitor and a noncompetitive inhibitor. O The Vnar decreases with a competitive inhibitor, while it remains the same with a noncompetitive inhibitor. O The Vmar remains unchanged with a competitive inhibitor, while it increases with a noncompetitive inhibitor. O The Vmax remains unchanged with a competitive inhibitor, while it decreases with a noncompetitive inhibitor pt pt pt 1 pt Submit Answer Try Another Version 1 item attempt remaining 1 pt 1 pt 1 pt 1 pr 1 pt 1 pt 3 at

Explanation / Answer

The Vmax remains unchanged with a competitive inhibitor, while it decreases with a non-competitive inhibitor.

In competitive inhibition Km is increased while Vmax remains unchanged, whereas in non-competitive inhibition Km remains unchanged while Vmax is decreased.
