During poisoning by heavy metals, severe metabolic disturbances occur because heavy metals

A. Irreversibly inactivate essential enzymes
B. Increase substrate concentration in cells
C. Convert enzymes into coenzymes
D. Stimulate ATP production

📝 Explanation

Heavy metals bind strongly to functional groups of enzymes, permanently reducing their catalytic activity and disrupting metabolism. Concept tested: Toxicological effects of heavy metals.
