It effects both ways. At a low temperature the enzyme activity is slowed down. At room temperature( at body temperature) the enzyme works optimally. If you increase the temperature by ten degree centigrade, the activity might double up. But if you go on increasing temperature from that point onward, the activity will drop markedly and at nearly hundred degree, there will be no activity because the enzyme got denatured by heat.

pH - denatures the enzyme by altering the charges on the enzyme. This will affect the structure of the enzyme and its ability to function. Heat - will denature the enzyme by breaking its bonds. This will stop the enzyme from being able to bond to a specific substrate molecule. Cold - not enough energy to reach minimum amount of activation energy needed to undergo reaction. The enzyme will not be able to react on the substrate.

Heat is one of the most essential elements in the activity of an enzyme...depending on its type and application specified enzyme. Heat can speed up or slowdown the activity or process being carried out.

at temperature of about 50 degree celsius the rnzymes get denatured effecting its regular function.thus heat effects on enzymes

when the temperarture increases rate of enzymatic reaction increases as the kinetic energy of molecules increases. every 10 degress celcious rise in temperature UP TO THE OPTIMUM TEMP the rate of enzyme reaction doubles. Above the optimum temp the rate of reaction decreases as the hight temperature denatures the enzymes which are made up of proteins.

Bernie is correct, but too much heat can denature an enzyme, since it is a protein. That will essentially stop all enzymatic activity.
