If the enzyme increases temperature it denatures, this means it’s purposes slowly decrease.

Answer:

Increased temperatures can cause enzymes to work more quickly, if the temperature gets too high the enzyme stops working.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the temperature around an enzyme gets too high, the enzyme loses its shape, which is known as denaturation, and ceases to work.
