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: -Plants produce food or energy in the form of sugar using water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight in the presence of chlorophyll and emit oxygen as a byproduct. Temperature has an impact on the rate of photosynthesis. The rate of photosynthesis increases as the temperature rises.

Detailed explanation-2: -The rate of photosynthesis is highest when the temperature is between 10-20 degrees C (50-68 degrees F). This is because, like other reactions occurring in living organisms, plants rely on enzymes to help keep the reaction going and increase the rate of the reaction.

Detailed explanation-3: -High Temperatures At temperatures above 68 degrees Fahrenheit, or 20 degrees Celsius, the rate of photosynthesis decreases because the enzymes do not work as efficiently at this temperature. This is despite the increase of carbon dioxide diffusion into leaves.
