MaxineFactors that can slow down an enzyme reaction include low substrate concentration, low pH levels, high temperature, or the presence of inhibitors. Conversely, factors that can speed up an enzyme reaction include high substrate concentration, optimal pH levels, optimal temperature, or the presence of activators.

What does it means if an enzyme is a catalyst?
Enzyme will reduce the activation energy of the reaction, thereby the speed of the reaction increases or acting as a catalyst.
Rank reactions from fastest to lowest uncatalyzed reaction reaction catalyzed by enzyme A reaction catalyzed by enzyme B?
Reaction catalyzed by enzyme B > reaction catalyzed by enzyme A > uncatalyzed reaction. Enzymes speed up reactions by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur, making them faster than uncatalyzed reactions. The specificity and efficiency of enzyme-substrate interactions determine the rate of reaction catalyzed by different enzymes.
What will most likely happen if the amount of enzyme that catalyzes this reaction is increased?
The reaction will speed up.
What is the four steps process of an enzyme at work?
Speed, reaction, function, and alter.
Is the speed of the reaction influenced by the amount of enzyme in the environment?
Yes, the speed of a reaction can be influenced by the amount of enzyme present. Increasing the enzyme concentration can increase the rate of reaction up to a point where all substrate molecules are being converted. This relationship is often described by the Michaelis-Menten equation.
