Detailed explanation-1: -(c) False. We know that temperature is an important factor for the rate of photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Temperature influences most plant processes, including photosynthesis, transpiration, respiration, germination and flowering. As temperature increases (up to a point), photosynthesis, transpiration and respiration increase.
Detailed explanation-3: -Like all living things, houseplants have specific temperature requirements. In order for them to survive and thrive, these must be met. Most plants prefer a temperature of no less than 60° F, though many can tolerate as low as 40° F.
Detailed explanation-4: -After light, temperature is the second-most crucial factor for plant growth.
Detailed explanation-5: -At lower temperatures, the number of molecular collisions between the substrate and the enzymes limits the pace of photosynthesis. A temperature range of 25° to 35° C is required for photosynthesis to be carried out efficiently.
