PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The ____ the temperature, the more photosynthesis can occur.
A
higher
B
lower
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Temperature has an impact on the rate of photosynthesis. The rate of photosynthesis increases as the temperature rises. During photosynthesis, a temperature of more than 40 °C slows down the process. Because it is an enzyme-controlled process, this is the case.

Detailed explanation-2: -At low temperatures, the rate of photosynthesis is limited by the number of collisions between enzymes and substrate. As temperature increases the number of collisions increases, therefore the rate of photosynthesis increases.

Detailed explanation-3: -At medium temperatures, between 50 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit, or 10 and 20 degrees Celsius, the photosynthetic enzymes work at their optimum levels, so photosynthesis rates gauge high.

Detailed explanation-4: -If carbon dioxide and light levels are high, but temperature is low, increasing temperature will have the greatest effect on reaching a higher rate of photosynthesis.
