enzyme require an optimum temperature and ph level to be active. temperature at which most enzymes are active is around 35-40 degree celcius. above this temperature the enzyme loses it globular structure and thus the substrate will not be able to bind with it.
some enzymes are active in alkali ph while others are active in acidic temperature. but most of the enzymes are active in neutral ph and this helps to maintain its globular structure.
Reactants that enter enzyme-controlled reactions are typically substrates. Substrates are the specific molecules that enzymes act upon to catalyze a biochemical reaction. The enzyme binds to the substrate at the enzyme's active site, where the reaction takes place.
With a lot of heat, the enzyme will be denatured meaning it will lose its shape and therefore its function.
Factors that can speed up enzyme reactions include higher enzyme or substrate concentrations, optimal pH and temperature, and the presence of cofactors or coenzymes. Factors that can slow down enzyme reactions include low substrate concentrations, extremes in pH or temperature, and the presence of inhibitors.
Do a controlled experiment in which you get an enzyme and set them up in different temperature, salt concentration and pH levels and see which reacts the best.

One question that a lab might be trying to answer is: What is the effect of temperature on enzyme activity? This type of experiment would involve testing how changes in temperature impact the rate of enzyme-catalyzed reactions in a controlled setting.
The optimum temperature for many enzymes is around 40 degrees Celsius because that is the temperature at which the enzyme's activity is highest. At this temperature, the enzyme's structure is optimal for binding to substrates and catalyzing reactions efficiently. Temperatures above or below this optimum can cause denaturation of the enzyme, leading to a loss of activity.
An exponential graph is likely to represent the effect of temperature on photosynthetic reactions, as the rate of photosynthesis typically increases with temperature up to a certain point before leveling off or decreasing due to enzyme denaturation. The initial increase is due to higher kinetic energy and enzyme activity, while the decrease is a result of enzyme inactivation.
Factors that can increase the rates of enzyme-controlled reactions include higher substrate concentration, optimal pH and temperature conditions, the presence of cofactors or coenzymes, and specific enzyme activators. Additionally, enzyme concentration and the absence of competitive inhibitors can also enhance reaction rates.

This varies per enzyme and what it catalyzes but chemical reactions that result in an increase in temperature often speed up enzyme catalysis.
