By decreasing this you can speed up a chemical reaction?

Decreasing the activation energy can speed up a chemical reaction. This can be achieved by increasing temperature, using a catalyst, or altering the reaction conditions to favor the formation of products.


Which sentence was the most likely hypothesis for the experiment?

The most likely hypothesis for the experiment was that increasing the temperature would speed up the reaction.


How do enzymes speed up biochemical reaction?

Enzymes speed up biochemical reactions by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction to occur. They do this by binding to the substrate molecules and stabilizing the transition state, making it easier for the reaction to proceed. Additionally, enzymes can orient substrates in the correct position for the reaction to take place more efficiently.


Do catalyst speed up a chemical reaction but not changed by them?

Yes, catalysts speed up chemical reactions by providing an alternative pathway with lower activation energy, allowing the reaction to occur more quickly. Catalysts themselves are not consumed in the reaction and remain unchanged at the end of the reaction, making them reusable for multiple reaction cycles.


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.
