What factor decreases the rate of photosynthesis?
A
leaves that are darker green
B
high carbon dioxide concentration
C
high temperatures
D
wet conditions
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is an enzyme mediated process. We know that enzymes work in optimum range of temperature. When the temperature goes beyond this range, an enzyme cannot work. Due to this, the rate of photosynthesis decreases at higher temperature.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. It occurs as a result of enzymes being involved in temperature-sensitive chemical processes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis can be influenced by several factors some of these factors are light intensity, temperature, water supply, and the concentration of carbon dioxide. If the temperature and light intensity is too high or low, there is an immediate decline in the rate of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -At low temperature the activity of enzymes is lowered due to which the rate of photosynthesis is also low. Again when the temperature is very high the activity of enzymes decreases which leads to low rate of photosynthesis.
