Answer:
Intermediate Product Accumulation
Explanation:
If one of the crucial enzyme say B is mutated in the process of normal product formation, then the reaction will not proceed further from that point and accumulation of an intermediate product in the cell takes place. The mutation in the enzyme could be environmental or genetic but it will surely alter the enzyme functioning. In the end, the damage malfunctioning cell will be removed using the process of apoptosis.
In exothermic reactions, the products have higher energy than the reactants, and in endothermic reactions, the reactants have higher energy than the products.
I think the right answer is b
