As heat increases kinetic energy increases, so particles and
substrates will be more likely to collide
and bind, increasing the speed of
reaction. Heat increase = amount of reactions an enzyme
catalyses increase.
If the temperature gets too high,
the enzyme will start to denature, this causes a change in the active site, the
enzyme will no longer be able to bind molecules
If the temperature gets colder the enzyme gets less energy so there are less frequent collisions = less reactions
