Final answer:

Enzymes that make a biochemical reaction exergonic will also increase its reaction rate.

Step-by-step explanation:

True. Enzymes are biological catalysts that increase the reaction rate by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction to occur. They do not change the nature of the reaction or make an endergonic reaction exergonic. Enzymes only speed up reactions that are already energetically favorable.
