consider the case of a person who suffers from a genetic mutation in their triose phosphate isomerase (TPI) gene that renders the enzyme non-functional. what effect is this most likely going to have on ATP production in glycolysis? explain

Metabolic mutants. What would be the effect on an organism's ability to use glucose as an energy source if a mutation inactivated glucose 6 -phosphatase in the liver?

Predict the effects of a mutation to enolase which renders it completely inactive. What specific effect would this have on the cell immediately, and what more general and overall effect would this have on the cell in the short term? Finally, what, ultimately, do you think might happen to a cell that is carrying this mutation in the longer term?
