Slowing it Down

What can change the rate of a chemical reaction, slow it down or speed it up?

Activators speed it up. Inhibitors slow it down. THat's how its done

A enzyme changes the rate of the chemical reaction. Inhibitors slow down the reaction. Activators speed up the reaction.

A chemical reaction can either slow down or speed up. Enzymes are what change the speed of the reaction. Inhibitors slow the reaction and the activators speed up the reaction.

Enzymes affect the rate of a chemical reaction. Activators speed up chemical reactions. Inhibitors slow down chemical reactions.

When chemical reactions are high in there concentration of a solution the fast reaction they have. This is like boiling water at a high temperature. Catalysts slow down chemical reactions and they are called inhibitors.

Enzymes are catalysts that change the rates of chemical reactions. Inhibitors slow 'em down. Activators speed 'em up.

When chemical reactions speed up or slow down they can do two things. They can be inhibitors which slow the reaction down. Also they can be activators which speed up the reaction.

I assume that activators speed it up and inhibitors slow it down. I hope thats right because Brandon told me that!

Temperature can change the rate of a chemical reaction. Enzymes can also change it. Activators also speed it up.

The activators speed it up. Inhibitors slow it down. Chemical change's speed can be changed.

Activators speed a reaction up. Inhibitors slow the chemical reactions down. And an enzyme changes the speed/rate of a reaction

Chemical reactions are changed by the rate enzymes. The Activators can speed up the reaction. Inhibitors slow down the reactions.

Enzymes are what change the rate or speed of a chmeical reaction. The thing that slows it down is called an inhibitor. The thing that speeds it up is an activator. And thats the truth.

An enzyme can change the rates of chemical reactions that occur. Inhibitors are the ones that can slow down the reaction. Aviators are the ones that speed up the chemical reaction.
