When an enzyme's activity is slowed or stopped, it is referred to as enzyme inhibition. This can occur through various mechanisms, including competitive inhibition, where an inhibitor competes with the substrate for the active site, or non-competitive inhibition, where the inhibitor binds to a different part of the enzyme, altering its function. Enzyme inhibition can be reversible or irreversible, depending on how the inhibitor interacts with the enzyme.

What will happen if convection in the mantle slowed?

If convection in the mantle slowed down, it would likely lead to a decrease in plate tectonic activity, potentially resulting in reduced volcanic eruptions and seismic activity. This could also impact the movement of continents and the overall heat distribution within the Earth, affecting various geological processes.
