Actually, enzymes are typically used to catalyse a biological reaction, leading to a faster reaction rate, not slower.
No. Enzymes increase the rate of biological reactions to levels that sustain the activities of life. For reversible reactions, enzymes speed progress toward the equilibrium point. For most enzymes, the increase ranges from a minimum of about a million to as much as a trillion times faster than the same reaction would proceed without the enzyme.
the more enzymes, the faster the reaction
The reaction rate is affected by enzymes.
Heat can change the rate of reaction
Why heating enzymes usually produces a faster rate of reaction?
The Reaction Rate
Enzymes are biocatalysts, they accelerate the reaction rate. Different individual enzymes operate by different mechanisms.
Enzymes speed up a reaction but they are not changed by the reaction. They are a protein molecule that helps other organic molecules enter into chemical reactions with one another but is itself unaffected by these reactions. In other words, enzymes act as catalysts for organic biochemical reactions.
Enzymes are considered to be catalysts; they increase the rate of a chemical reaction.

The reaction rate is affected by enzymes.
Enzymes control the rate of chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. This enables reactions to proceed at a faster pace and with more specificity than without enzymes. Enzymes do not change the overall equilibrium of a reaction.
