Activators can switch on enzyme activity, while inhibitors can switch off or reduce enzyme activity.

Enzymes are biomolecules that catalyzes a reaction. The enzymes can either speed up or slows down a reaction. Activators are compounds, molecules or elements that attach to the enzyme and promotes its activity. Inhibitors are factors which prevent the activity of the enzyme. Both activators and inhibitors are necessary for cellular metabolisms taking place in a living organism.
