in the enzyme - catalyzed reaction where a = (enzyme 1) → b → (enzyme 2) → c → (enzyme 3) → d, what will be the effect of inactivating enzyme 2?
b and c will still be produced, but not d.
a will still be produced, but not b, c, or d.
b will still be produced, but not c or d.
b, c, and d will all still be produced.

Explanation:

Enzymes are crucial for specific steps in biochemical reactions. Inactivating Enzyme 2 will stop the conversion of B to C. Since C is needed for the production of D via Enzyme 3, D will also not be produced. But the reaction from A to B catalyzed by Enzyme 1 can still occur.

Answer:

B will still be produced, but not C or D.
