Homeostasis is the ability of an organism to maintain a relatively stable internal environment. How would an organism's homeostasis be affected if it was not able to produce enzymes?

Without enzymes, the temperature inside cells would increase rapidly.

Without enzymes, biochemical reactions would cease completely.

Without enzymes, chemical reactions would not occur quickly enough to sustain life.

Without enzymes, ribosomes would break down proteins, rather than build them.
