Some different things that could speed/slow up/down a chemical reaction are:
Temperature
(If higher, molecules move faster, reactions speeds up) SPEED UP
Temperature
(If lower, molecules will move slower, reaction slower) SLOW DOWN
CATALYST
(A catalyst is anything that SPEEDS up a reaction without being consumed[running out of energy]) SPEED UP
Concentration
More substrates [reactants/puzzle pieces to enzymes faster reaction)SPEED UP
Concentration
(Less substrates- slower reaction) SLOW DOWN
...well, there you go... :)
Heat would speed up the reaction, while cold would slow the reaction.
No. A smaller surface area will slow down a chemical reaction.
The particle size is decreased so that you can speed up a chemical reaction. Proteases is the enzymes that break down proteins.

to slow down a chemical reaction you use the substance called an inhibitor. to speed up a chemical reaction you use the substance called a catalyst.
Heat........
A chemical catalyst is a substance that lowers the required activation energy of a reaction. The activation energy is the amount of energy required to "activate" or start a process, this can be in the form of many things, such as heat. A chemical catalyst can be seen as a kind of shortcut in a chemical process to speed things up. A catalyst can also be used to increase the activation energy, so that the reaction will slow down. This is useful for slowing down reactions that are normally too fast to witness.
No, an increase in temperature will speed up the reaction. This is because the heat energy is transferred into kinetic energy (movement energy) in the reactors and this increases their speed and so increases the rate at which they collide with each other, increasing the rate of the chemical reaction.
You can make a chemical reaction last longer by adjusting the concentration of reactants, controlling the temperature, using a catalyst, or providing continuous stirring. Additionally, increasing the surface area of reactants or using a pressure vessel can also help prolong the reaction.
The substance that slows down a chemical reaction is an inhibitor. Instead you could also call an inhibitor an anticatalyst.-anticatalyst `antee'katlist1. (chemistry) a substance that retards a chemical reaction or diminishes the activity of a catalyst
A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the reaction itself. Catalysts work by providing an alternative reaction pathway with lower activation energy, making it easier for the reaction to proceed.
An enzyme generally lowers the activation energy necessary for a reaction to proceed. This in turn may cause more of the reactants to go to products.
