They can ensure that chemical reactions occur in safe temperature by only speeding up the reaction in optimum temperate range.
If the temperature is too low, the enzymes may be inactive, and the chemical reactions may be slow.
If the temperature is too high, the enzyme would be denatured and it can no longer function as a biological catalysts.
