The temperature is one of the key factors that can denature an enzyme. When the temperature is too low or two high, the enzyme will denature and not function.

Why is temperature a factor of cellular respiration?

Temperature can effect enzymatic action of all cellular activities to a great degree. Typically increasing the temperature will stimulate enzymes while decreasing it will hinder their activity. If the temperature is too high the protein enzymes will denture and become useless. If the temperature is too low the activation energy required to initiate enzyme action will not be able to be overcome and the enzymes will be rendered inoperable.

What is the temperature that promotes enzymatic action?

Different enzymes are most efficient at different temperatures, these are called 'the optimum temperature'. A temperature far lower than this will cause the rate of reaction to slow until barely noticable. A temperatuere far higher than this will cause the shape of the enzyme to change and the enzyme will become denatured.
