Describe the difference between competitive and non-competitive enzyme inhibition.
Competitive inhibition: Inhibitor resembles the substrate and binds to the active site, blocking substrate binding.
Non-competitive inhibition: Inhibitor binds to a site other than the active site, changing the enzyme’s shape so the substrate cannot bind properly

Photosynthesis: Thylakoid membrane
Cellular Respiration: Mitochondrial membrane
