What is the role of the colorful balls in the analogy?

They represent the enzymes

They represent the substrates (correct)

They represent the inhibitors

They represent the blocks

How does the presence of a competitive friend affect the enzyme's ability to push the balls?

It has no effect on the enzyme's ability to push the balls

It slows down the enzyme's movement, regardless of the number of balls

It increases the enzyme's speed, even with fewer balls

It reduces the number of balls available for the enzyme to push (correct)

What is the effect of the blocks on the enzyme's ability to push the balls?

The blocks have no effect on the enzyme's ability to push the balls

The blocks increase the enzyme's speed

The blocks make it harder for the enzyme to move, even with many balls (correct)

The blocks reduce the number of balls available for the enzyme
