Absorption of which one of the following nutrients in human intestine is interfered by phytate present in seeds?

This outcome reflects enzyme catalysis and lipid structure, where substrate affinity, transition state stabilization and phospholipid composition govern function. Option C captures this correctly because it reflects catalytic efficiency and membrane organization, consistent with textbook descriptions and experimental observations in biochemistry.

Ref: Nelson and Cox, Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, 7th Edition, Chapter 6, Enzyme Kinetics and Regulation, discusses Michaelis-Menten equation, transition state stabilization and allosteric control supporting enzyme function.
