The reaction will speed up if the biochemist can find the correct enzymes.
Explanation:
Enzymes do not change the reactions, neither are they changed by the reactions.
enzymes lower the activation energy of the reaction allowing the reaction to occur at a lower energy level. This usually speeds the reaction.
