What kinds of chemicals might you add to try to speed up the action of an enzyme or to inhibit its action?
The type of chemicals that speed up the action of an enzyme are called activators. Inhibitors, meanwhile, slow down the action of enzymes.
Do enzymes slow down reactions in your body?
No, they speed them up by lowering the activation energy of reactions. The body has other ways to slow reactions. Concentration of enzymes, inhibition of enzymes, sometimes by negative feed back mechanisms.
Do digestive enzymes slow down digestion?
no it dont enzymes breaks down the large molecules into small molecules
When do chemical reactions involving enzymes slow down?

What causes tomatoes to ripen much more slowly in a refrigerator than they do if left on a table at a room temperature?
Low temperatures reduce the action of ripening enzymes. When tomatoes are stored in a refrigerator the colder temperature causes ripening enzymes to slow down, which slows the ripening process.
Are some types of proteins called enzymes?
Some proteins act as enzymes, yes. Enzymes are just proteins that catalyze (speed up/slow down) reactions.
Why are enzymes referred to as organic catalysts?
they speed up slow reaction
Slow break style requires this of action?
In basketball, a slow break style requires a thoughtful action
What happen is the body do not have enzymes?
Without enzymes,the chemical reactions in your body would occur too slow to support life processes.
Does the amount or reactant in the cell influence the action of enzymes?
yes, it does. if there is more substrate present, the net reaction will go to the right. but if more prdouct accumulates, the reaction will slow down and eventually begin to move to the left
