Enzymes speed up chemical reactions that take place in cells. They are usually named from the reaction that they catalyze.
Enzymes speed up chemical reactions that take place in cells. They are usually named from the reaction that they catalyze.
Enzymes are usually something that reduces a chemical reaction.
Usually enzymes have the role to catalyse a reaction. That means they aren't changed at all, but they influence the mechanism to reduce the activation energy (the energy needed for the reaction). The reaction is therefore performed more easily. To put it very simply: It speeds up a chemical reaction.
Enzymes are catalysts in a chemical reaction, they are used in chemistry to increase the speed of a specific chemical reaction. A single enzyme will not speed up multiple chemical reactions, usually it is limited to one reactant.
It usually lowers their effectiveness, i.e. slows the reaction rate.
Heating a substance can result in a chemical reaction, which usually results in a simple combustion reaction. This is because Oxygen, or O2, is added to the substance, which can dramatically alter the substance.

The presence of catalysts, usually enzymes.

Temperature is definitely one. USUALLY, the higher the temperature, the faster the reaction.
Biocatalysts usually are very specific to the reaction that they catalyze. So many only speed up one reaction. Quite often a chain reaction occurs where numerous enzymes catalyze reactions at different points speeding up a process that would take much longer and propelling the reaction through numerous phases.
