I believe this is true, this is one of the reasons as for why we as humans posses catalysts, biological enzymes that can help speed up reactions by lowering the energy required for the reaction to start. Without them, then basically one of the only other ways to increase the reaction rate would be to substantially increase the temperature to allow these fundamental chemical and metabolic reactions to occur.
