Why does destroying the active site by heating the enzyme to a high temparature stop the enzyme from working?

Extremely high or low pH values or heat generally result in complete loss of activity for most enzymes. They lose the shape that they should be in to fit into the active site. They and the active site work as a lock and key. If the key (or the lock) change shape, the mechanism will not work.

What are the two types of solar heating systems?
The two types of solar heating systems are active solar heating systems, which use pumps and fans to circulate air or fluid, and passive solar heating systems, which rely on building design and materials to capture and store heat from the sun.
