Answer:

decreased active site due to changed shape.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the rising temperature, chemical bonds between molecules of enzymes break resulting to alter the standard shape of enzymes. the active site no longer fits substrate molecules and thus the effect of enzymes decreases.
