Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Photosynthesis will work best in which temperature range
A
50-60 degrees F
B
60-70 degrees F
C
65-85 degrees F
D
85-95 degrees F
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -1 Answer. Moderate temperatures or from 50 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit.

Detailed explanation-2: -At night, the best times for foliage growth are between 60 and 68 degrees F., whereas at day, the best times are between 70 and 80 degrees F. The rate at which photosynthesis occurs at low temperatures is limited by the number of collisions between enzymes and substrate.

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. Depending on the particular plant in question, set the greenhouse thermostat to a temperature within this range for best results.

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis stops to occur at a temperature above 40‘C not 35‘C. At higher temperature the enzymes responsible for the process of photosynthesis gets destroyed.
