WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF EXCESS HEAT OR TEMPERATURE ON AN ENZYME? BIO help?

An enzyme is a protein, and proteins need certain temperatures to function optimally, or even function. Temperature may unfold the protein and may stop its functioning, or it may fold the protein into the correct formation to function. But by the way your question asks, EXCESS heat would denature the enzyme and cease function.
