If there are 12 different intermediate products produced during production of a molecule in a cell, we can expect that there
A) is one enzyme that carries this process through all 12 stages to the end product.
B) are about 12 enzymes, at least one responsible for each step in the metabolic pathway.
C) is one enzyme for degradation and another enzyme for synthesis.
D) there may not be any enzymes involved if this is a natural cell product.
E) must be 12 different raw materials combined in the cell by one enzyme.

It is unlikely that there would be a single enzyme that would catalyze all the reactions needed to produce a complex molecule with 12 intermediate products. Rather, it is more likely that there are multiple enzymes involved, each responsible for a different step in the metabolic pathway.
