Q. 9

Why does the rate of photosynthesis decrease at higher temperatures?

Class 11th Biology - Exemplar 13. Photosynthesis in Higher Plants

Answer :

Photosynthesis is an enzyme process through which the process is mediated. We are aware of the optimum temperature range of enzymes. An enzyme could not function if the temperature exceeds this range. This causes a decrease in the rate of photosynthesis at higher temperatures.
