Answer:

At high temperature the enzyme becomes denatured.

Lower temperature the enzymes become inactive.

Step-by-step explanation:

Enzymes do not work at high temperature since the temperature kills the cells. And at LOW temperature enzymes have no energy to perform their work hence becomes inactive.
