You coat a Petri dish with fibronectin and proteoglycans and then culture cells on the dish. The cells adhere to the dish. You repeat the experiment, but this time you add RGD (arginine-glycine-aspartic acid) tripeptides to the culture dish as the cells are added. The result of this experiment is an example of what biochemical process?

competitive inhibition

Explanation:

the result of this biochemical process is that the cells will not adhere to the dish and called as competitive inhibition.

During competitive inhibition introduction or addition of one chemical substance ((arginine-glycine-aspartic acid) blocks the enzyme active site and inhibit the effect of another substance (fibronectin and proteoglycans) by competing with it for binding.
