To correctly match the terms with their descriptions, we need to understand the roles of competitive and noncompetitive inhibitors in enzyme activity:

  1. Nonenzyme: This term does not directly relate to the descriptions provided. It seems to be a placeholder or incorrect term in this context.

  2. Allosteric site: This is the location where a noncompetitive inhibitor will bind. Noncompetitive inhibitors bind to an allosteric site, which is a site other than the active site, causing a change in the enzyme's shape and function.

  3. Active site: This is the location where a competitive inhibitor will bind. Competitive inhibitors compete with the substrate for binding at the enzyme's active site.

Based on this understanding, the correct matches are:

  • Allosteric site: Location where a noncompetitive inhibitor will bind.
  • Active site: Location where a competitive inhibitor will bind.

The term "nonenzyme" does not fit any of the descriptions provided.
