What change is observed in the rate of photosynthesis at higher temperatures?

Open in App

Solution

The process of photosynthesis is an enzyme-specific process. The enzymes that function in this process, work at an optimum temperature. If the temperature increases beyond the upper limit of the optimum temperature, then enzymes denature, and this lowers the rate of photosynthesis.
