The procedure was to first place a small drop of hydrogen peroxide on raw liver. after that we were told to dip filter paper disks in liquefied liver and observe how changing the temperature of the hydrogen peroxide speeds up the rate of reaction. how does increasing the temperature affect the activity of the enzyme?
help please?

Well there is a certain temperature at which the enzyme will become denatured which means its protein structure changes and it's no longer able to work.  Before this point then higher temperature makes the energy of the system increase and the movement of all reagents.

Enzymes work pretty much by random movement in the system so the higher temperature(and movement) the higher the rate of reaction.

So increasing the temp will cause the enzyme to work faster until that denaturization point.
