increase uncatalyzed reaction rates by increasing the kinetic energy of the reactants. decrease the rate of reactions that require an enzyme

Explanation:

In uncatalyzed reactions, heat increases the kinetic energy by moving the molecules faster and increasing the collisions. On the other hand, when enzymes are exposed to high temperatures (for an enzyme 41°C is a high temperature), they will denaturalize and therefore there will be a decrease on the rate of the reaction,
