There are competitive and non-competitive inhibitors. Both of them slow down the reaction. Competitive inhibitors are molecules that are shaped a lot like the substrate. They bind to the active site and stop the substrate from connecting. Non-competitive inhibitors connect to the enzyme in a place that is not the active site. Causing the active site to change shape. Inhibitors and catalysts are both used in everyday life. One example of how catalysts are used in everyday life is that catalysts

As particles move they collide with each other and bounce off in all directions. This is called random motion. In 2 substances‚ when mixed‚ particles bounce off in all directions when they collide. This mixing process is called diffusion. It’s also the movement of particles without a force. The smallest particle
