Suppose a cell is seriously deprived by water. how might this lack of water affect the cell’s enzymes?

If a cell is seriously deprived of water, this lack of water would most likely affect the cell’s enzymes because:

Both the plant and animal cell needs water in order to perform their basic functions which include transport of materials, waste distribution, production of genetic information, and many more.

As a result of this, we can see that there would be a serious problem if any of these cells are deprived of water which would lead to the cytoplasm and plasma membrane to partially shut down because they would not be able to engage in protein synthesis and other important functions.
