Do enzymes slow down reactions?
are enzymes carbohydrates
Can Catalysts slow down chemical reactions?
yes they can
What are the substances that prevent or slow down chemical reactions?
inhibitors
How do catalysts differ from inhibitors?
Inhibitors slow down chemical reactions. Catalysts speed up reactions.
Does fuel rods slow down nuclear reactions?
No, but control rods do.
Why do car batteries run down in cold weather?
Chemical reactions slow down in the cold. The electricity produced in a car battery is the result of chemical reactions between the sulfuric acid and the lead plates. Slow down those reactions and the battery is not able to produce its normal current.
Materials that slows down chemical reactions?
In biological chemical reactions, examples of these are called enzyme inhibitors. Enzymes speed up reactions, but enzyme inhibitors slow them down. This can be by either competing with the reactants for a spot on the enzyme, or by altering the enzyme's structure so that it does not speed up reactions anymore. In either case, enzyme inhibitors slow down chemical reactions.
What is the difference between an inhibitor and catalyst?
Catalyst speeds up reactions, and inhibitors are used to slow down reactions.
What are the effects of preservatives?
Preservatives slow down spoilage of food. Preservatives can prevent or slow microbial growth, prevent or slow the action of degrading enzymes, and slow down other negative reactions in food.
When do chemical reactions involving enzymes slow down?
Chemical reactions involving enzymes slow down when the temperature is too high or too low, as enzymes have an optimal temperature range for activity. Additionally, changes in pH levels can also affect enzyme activity, causing reactions to slow down. Lastly, the presence of inhibitors or competitive molecules can hinder enzyme function, leading to a slowdown in reactions.
What is a depresant?
Some drugs are depressants which means that they slow down our reactions.
When a green plant absorbs a toxic substance which inhibits the Calvin cycle How would this most likely affect the light reactions?
The light reactions would slow down.
