Only competitive inhibition can be overcome by the addition of more substrate. Competitive inhibitors work by binding to and blocking the enzyme's active site. If more substrate is added, it increases the chance that an enzyme molecule will bind to the substrate instead of the inhibitor. Noncompetitive inhibition is not affected by the amount of substrate, uncompetitive inhibition is not tested on the MCAT, and "substrate-sensitive" is not a type of inhibition.
