Solution

The rate of a biochemical reaction in the presence of an enzyme is typically greater than the rate of the same reaction in the absence of an enzyme. This is because enzymes act as catalysts, reducing the activation energy required for the reaction to occur and thus speeding up the reaction rate. Therefore, the rate of the reaction in the presence of the enzyme would be greater than 10^6 min-1.

The activation energy of a reaction in the presence of an enzyme is lower than the activation energy of the same reaction in the absence of the enzyme. The exact value of the activation energy in the presence of the enzyme would depend on the specific reaction and enzyme involved, and cannot be determined without additional information.
