That depends on the signals given to the cell. If a cell receives a positive feedback, it makes more. If there are too much, a negative feedback is given to lower the amount. This is a way of controlling the enzyme balance in your body.

What are enzymes considered?

Enzymes are considered to be catalysts; they increase the rate of a chemical reaction.


Do enzymes decrease the rate of chemical reactions?

No, they Increase the speed of chemical reactions


What effect does the MnSO4 have on the rate of reaction?

decrease the energy requirement of reaction, which increase the rate of reaction itself


How does increasing temperature increases rate reaction?

Temperature can increase and decrease the rate of reactions. Heat increases, while cold decreases the rate of reaction. With the help of enzymes.


Enzymes control this aspect of chemical reactions?

Enzymes as such do not control things directy. However, the rate of a biochemical reaction can be controlled by enzymes.


Enzymes are catalysts. How do enzymes increase the reaction rate?

Enzymes are natural catalysts, these natural catalysts speed up reactions.


Which best describes the role of enzymes in chemical reactions?

to increase the reaction rate


A catalyzed reaction will have a activation energy and this leads to a in the reaction rate. A) lower decrease B) lower increase C) higher decrease D) higher increase?

d


What would increasing the temperature do to the reaction rate?

In most Chemical reactions, the reaction rate increases, though when side reactions are possible these can get more favoured. When no side reactions can happen, the the reaction rate will just increase. In biology, it is possible the reaction rate increases for only a small amount of time. If you use an enzyme developed to work at 10 degrees celsius, it can denaturate at 30 degrees celsius, causing the reaction to stop or slow down due to an decrease of active enzyme


Does increasing the surface area increase or decrease the rate of a chemical reaction?

It will increase the rate of the reaction because more particles will be exposed and they will be able to react.This decreases the time to react.


Can enzymes increase the rate of chemical reaction by lowering activation energy barriers?

That's the way they do it


What affect rates does a enzyme catalyzed reaction have?

Enzymes increase the rate of reaction by changing the reaction mechanism to one with a lower activation energy.
