Actually, enzymes are typically used to catalyse a biological reaction, leading to a faster reaction rate, not slower.

Do enzymes slow down or speed up a chemical reaction?

No, the sole purpose of enzymes are to increase the rate of a chemical reaction. Even if they are not at an optimal temperature, they will not slow down the reaction. They won't work as efficiently, but it will still be slightly faster than without the enzymes.


How does the amount of enzymes ect the reaction rate?

the more enzymes, the faster the reaction


What aspect of chemical reaction is affected by enzymes?

The reaction rate is affected by enzymes.

What do enzymes do to the chemicals involved in the reaction?

Enzymes are biocatalysts, they accelerate the reaction rate. Different individual enzymes operate by different mechanisms.


How do enzymes affect the rate of reaction?

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.


What are enzymes considered?

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


Protein that changes the rate of a chemical reaction?

What aspect of a chemical reaction is affected by enzyme?

Enzymes control this aspect of chemical reactions?

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.
