The particle size is decreased so that you can speed up a chemical reaction. Proteases is the enzymes that break down proteins.

Activation energy is lowered to speed up a chemical reaction.

to speed up a chemical reaction
A catalyst can speed up a chemical reaction.
Decreasing the activation energy can speed up a chemical reaction. This can be achieved by increasing temperature, using a catalyst, or altering the reaction conditions to favor the formation of products.
Anything that is added to a chemical reaction that's intended to speed up the reaction - is a catalyst.
Enzymes are proteins which speed up chemical reactions.
Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions.
No, an increase in temperature will speed up the reaction. This is because the heat energy is transferred into kinetic energy (movement energy) in the reactors and this increases their speed and so increases the rate at which they collide with each other, increasing the rate of the chemical reaction.
When a catalyst is added to a chemical reaction, the rate of the reaction will increase without being consumed in the process. This means that the reaction will reach equilibrium faster and require less activation energy. The overall chemical equilibrium and products formed will remain the same.
