If one macromolecule, such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, or nucleic acids, were missing from an organism, it would disrupt essential biological functions. For example, the absence of proteins would hinder cellular structure, enzyme activity, and immune responses, leading to severe physiological consequences. Similarly, missing carbohydrates would impact energy storage and supply, while a lack of lipids could compromise cell membrane integrity. Overall, the deficiency of any single macromolecule would severely impair an organism’s health and survival.

What would happen to cellular respiration process if the enzyme for one step of the process for missing or defective?

If an enzyme in a sequence of enzyme-controlled reactions is missing or defective then the process will stop at that point. So respiration could proceed until it reached the reaction which needed the missing or defective enzyme at which point it would stop.

Is an oxygen atom an example of a macromolecule?

No, an oxygen atom is O but oxygen exists as a molecule O2. A macromolecule is a large one. An example of a macromolecule would be DNA or a protein or a polymer. Oxygen does not fit this category.

What would happen to the cellular respiration process of the enzyme for one step of the process was missing or defective?

It would cause the reaction to occur at a much slower rate, because all enzymes do is speed up the reaction.


Can you explain how three fourths is least than five sixths?

When you have three fourths of something, one fourth is still missing. If you have five sixths of something, only one sixth is missing, so you have more than if one fourth is missing (one sixth being a smaller portion missing than one fourth). If you had ninety-nine one hundredths, only one one hundredth would be missing, meaning you would have nearly the whole thing.
