Its all physics. Things speed up and slow down because of a force acting upon them.

Newton's second law of motion states that the force applied to an object is equal to its mass times acceleration, i.e. F = MA. As a result force causes a change in acceleration, which causes a change in velocity. This can be positive or negative, depending on which direction the force is acting.

What are some things that can speed up or slow down cell division?

Things that can speed up cell division include growth factors, hormones, and certain mutations. On the other hand, factors that can slow down cell division include DNA damage, nutrient deprivation, and cell cycle checkpoints.


What things speed up or slow down a chemical reaction?

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... :)
