Cellular respiration is a series of complicated reactions. Some of the enzymes that are necessary for the reactions to take place effectively are not produced by the body and must be eaten in a person’s diet. Which answer correctly explains what happens when a person's diet lacks the necessary enzymes for cellular respiration?

Question

anonymous · Answer

The production of ATP will increase as the enzyme decreases. 

 The cellular respiration reactions will use another available enzyme. 

 The cellular respiration reaction rate that uses the missing enzyme will increase. 

 The cell's energy level will diminish as the enzyme decreases. 
  I believe that it is the last one. Is this correct?

yep! you're right.

by the way, we synthesize all the enzymes we use for cellular respiration. What the question asserts is false.
