Question

Phosphofructokinase deficiency occurs when a person lacks an enzyme needed to perform glycolysis in skeletal muscles. What effect could this have on the body?

A. Production of energy by glycolysis will occur, skeletal muscles will function properly
B. Production of energy by glycolysis will not occur, skeletal muscles will function properly
C. Production of energy by glycolysis will occur, skeletal muscles will not function properly
D. Production of energy will not occur, skeletal muscles will not function properly

Answer 1

I think it’s D because if you think about it, without energy being produced, how would the skeletal muscles be able to function? It’s like us not eating for days, how would we be able to live then? (I’m not sure if it’s correct as I was not taught clearly about this)
