Answer:

At higher temperatures, more collisions occur so the rate of reaction increases. However, extremely high temperatures disrupt the shape of the active site, which will reduce itsactivity, or prevent it from working. Theenzyme is now denatured . Enzymestherefore work best at their optimum temperature.
