Some proteins catalyze biochemical reactions. If a genetic defect prevented a protein catalyst from being produced which of the

A. the cell would find a different type of protein to catalyze the reaction.
B. The reaction the protein catalyzes would proceed very slowly or not at all.
C. The reaction the protein catalyzes would only occur in some places in the cell.

I believe option B would be the correct choice because, without a catalyst, the reaction will be either too slow or will not happen at all as it would not acquire a fitting activation energy for the reaction. 
If you would like to know why the other options are incorrect, please read on: 
Option A is incorrect because since proteins are specific in nature, so other protein cannot be replaced, for some other chemical reaction. 
Option C is not correct it is a genetic defect that the protein does not form, and all cells are genetically identical, a reaction cannot take place in any parts of the body. 
And finally, option D would be wrong because if a forward reaction does not take place, a backwards reaction will not occur. 
I hope this answer has helped, and I apologise if somehow this answer finds itself to be incorrect. Good luck on your quiz or homework. :)

What are the photoautotrophs?
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Photoautotrophs are organisms that carry out photosynthesis. Using energy from sunlight, carbon dioxide and water are converted into organic materials to be used in cellular functions such as biosynthesis and respiration

Explanation:

the example of photoautrophs are

Examples of phototrophs/photoautotroph include:

Higher plants (maize plant, trees, grass etc)

Euglena.

Algae (Green algae etc)

Bacteria (e.g. Cyanobacteria)

Algae are photoautotrophs found in most ecosystems, but they generally are more important in water-based, or aquatic, ecosystems. Like plants, algae are eukaryotes that contain chloroplasts for photosynthesi

In ________and ________ no energy is used. Which one needs a helper to get things across?__________
MissTica
In DIFFUSION AND FACILITATED DIFFUSION no energy is used. The one that needs a helper to get thing across is FACILITATED DIFFUSION.<span> Facilitated diffusion involves the diffusion of materials across the cell plasma membrane with the aid of membrane proteins such as carriers and channels. The process of diffusion does not need a carrier, the molecules to be transported just move on their own from the area of high concentration to the region of low concentration until the concentration in the space become uniform.</span>
