The diagram shows different molecules in a solution.
Which statement could explain what happens when some of the molecules are mixed together?
Molecule P forms an enzyme-substrate complex with the non-competitive inhibitor molecule Q .
Molecule Q binds to molecule P, increasing the activation energy.
Molecules R and S bind to the active site of molecule P .
Molecules S and R are the products of the breakdown of molecule P .
