What are the common effects of competitive inhibition on enzyme activity?
The reaction rate decreases.
The enzyme denatures.
The inhibitor binds to the active site.
The enzyme-substrate complex is unable to form efficiently.

Explanation

Competitive inhibition reduces reaction rate because the inhibitor prevents the substrate from binding.
