This would depend on what kind of reaction you are referring to.
Endothermic (heat-absorbing) reactions would slow down at lower temperatures.
Exothermic (heat-releasing) reactions would gain speed at lower temperatures.
Inhibitors to the reaction can slow down biological processes.

∙ 13y agoMany enzymatic reactions may be slowed down by cooling. The colder the ambient temperature, the slower the enzymatic process.

∙ 12y agoTo slow down a reaction you just have to put less of something, or decrease the temperature of something.
In summary: the amounts, and or the temperature, of the reactants are reduced.

Why would the reaction of a normal rate of an enzyme slow down and its substrate slow down when a competitive inhibitor is present?
because the competitive inhibitor stops the regular substrate from joining the enzyme. Its takes its place in the enzyme.
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 factors in the cell can speed up or slow down enzyme reactions?
feedback switches
What will slow down the reaction rate of maltose broken down into glucose molecules by the enzyme maltase?
diluting with water
What things might slow down or speed up and enzyme reaction?
The temperature in addition to the pH sacle of something in particular in the environment would affect the rate of speed of an enzyme and would slow down the reaction if it is too high.

What happen to the active site when the enzyme denatures?
The action going on that site will slow down.

What is the effect of cold temperatures on enzyme activity?
Cold temperatures have a drastic effect on an enzyme's activity level. Cold temperatures usually dramatically slow down an enzyme's activity.

How could you slow down an object?
You can slow down an object by reducing the force that is making it move forward.
How could you slow the canyon weathering?
i dont know how it cpuld slow it down
What is the overall effect of temperature on enzyme activity?
Each enzyme has its' own "perfect" temperature. This varies with the enzyme, the substrate and the environment. In most cases, increasing the temperature above the normal will increase the rate up to a point. Lowering the temperature will slow it down.
What could slow down your relfexes?
If you are drunk one of the many symtoms is slow reflexes.
What is the difference between an enzyme and a catalyst and how are they similar. Please be very specific for me?
Enzyme slow down a reaction while catalyst speed up reactions. Enzyme contain a zinc content which makes it a metal, as well as catalyst; so that is one example of their simularities.
