An enzymatic reaction is an equilibrium reaction and the determiners of rate include enzyme and substrate concentration. An increase in either enzyme or substrate concentration will increase the rate of the reaction until one or the other component becomes saturated, beyond its ability to react or be reacted at a higher rate.
an inactive enzyme does not increase the rate of the chemical reaction
Enzymes increase the rate of reaction by changing the reaction mechanism to one with a lower activation energy.
Enzymes speed up the rate of chemical reactions by lowering activation energy, and are not used up in the reaction.
A reaction catalyzed by enzyme a reaction cataly by enzyme b uncatalyzed reaction
The function of an enzyme is to increase the rate of a reaction.
The enzyme reduces the activation energy of the reaction, therefore chemical reaction speeds are increased.
The enzyme in the liver (catalase) decomposes the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) into water and oxygen molecules. However this reaction will be slower then the liver being at 37 degrees celsius as this is the optimal condition for the enzyme catalase. The reaction will occur at a slower rate when an enzyme is below its optimal condition so generally when an enzyme is in cold conditions it will function slower.
the frozen liver reaction should have been slower than the liver at room temperature, as this is the optimal condition for the enzyme catalase. The reaction would occur at a slower rate when an enzyme is below its optimal condition so generally when an enzyme is in cold conditions it will function slower.
hydrolyzing the substrate
The rate of a reactions usually increases when catalyzed by an enzyme. For maximum rate of activity, the enzyme needs optimal conditions.
An enzymatic reaction is an equilibrium reaction and the determiners of rate include enzyme and substrate concentration. An increase in either enzyme or substrate concentration will increase the rate of the reaction until one or the other component becomes saturated, beyond its ability to react or be reacted at a higher rate.
The enzyme will act as a catalyst, a compound that lowers that activation energy of the reaction, and therefore, increase the rate of the reaction.

Any, that is their function.

if the envirionment is cold, the reaction rate decreases. if the envirionment is warm, the reaction rate increases. however, if the envirinment is too hot, the enzyme will be denatured. a pH out of the enzyme's optimal range will also denature it. when an enzyme is denatured, it looses its shape a its active site is no longer able to recive the molecule and break it down.
