Which consequence results when quantum tunneling fails in liver enzyme function?

A)Inability to metabolize particular substrates
B)Decreased ATP production systemically
C)Unregulated release of cytochrome c
D)Increased enzyme turnover, overall

💡 Explanation

Reduced tunneling hinders a redox reaction, because electron 'hops' required for catalysis encounter increased potential barrier, due to non-classical behavior and lowered penetration. Therefore, specific enzymatic reactions become inefficient rather than some general metabolic dysfunction.
