A competitive inhibitor of succinic dehydrogenase is
(a) Malonate
Explanation:
The enzyme succinate dehydrogenase is competitively inhibited by malonate.
Malonate competes with the enzyme by binding to its active site without reacting. This causes a decline in the action of succinate dehydrogenase.
Malonate is known to reduce cellular respiration.
Malonates are esters and salts of malonic acid. For example-
diethyl malonate,
dimethyl malonate,
disodium malonate,
