Q1. Malonic acid resembles succinic acid and competes for the active site of succinate dehydrogenase. This type of interaction is called:
Answer: Competitive inhibition
Explanation: Competitive inhibitors like malonate mimic the substrate's shape; non-competitive inhibitors bind elsewhere, failing to resemble the substrate's molecular structure.
