Final answer:

Inhibitors affect enzyme function by interfering with the enzyme's activity either temporarily or permanently.


Explanation:

Inhibitors affect the ability of an enzyme by interfering with its function either temporarily or permanently. Irreversible inhibitors bind covalently to the enzyme's active site, causing a permanent decrease in catalytic efficiency. On the other hand, competitive inhibitors bind at the active site, preventing the substrate from binding and inhibiting the enzyme's ability to catalyze reactions.
