What is the expected result of the substrate binding to the enzyme?

a. Metabolic pathway proceeds

b. Metabolic pathway stops and can not restart

c. Metabolic pathway stops but can resume when inhibition is removed

d. Substrate binding to the enzyme has no effect on cell function.

a. Metabolic pathway proceeds

Explanation:

The substrate is what is called the substance that is meant to bind with the enzyme, and once the substrate is bound witht the enzyme the metabolic pathway can proceed. The metabolic pathway is what we call a series of chemical reactions that happen and are set in motion by a catalyst, that then binds with a substrate and creates a certain stimuli for different needs.
