Photosynthesis

[everybodylovesregan]

Why does the rate of photosynthesis increase, peak, then decrease as the temperature increases?

Please help..

because you're shivering when cold, sweating when hot and chillin' when it's 78 degrees.

Look up transpiration.

i would like you to remember about the properties of enzymes too..
the activity of enzymes will increase as the temp. increases. yet, once it gets at 45 C or higher, the activity will decrease. because the enzymes denatured.

as the enzyme activity increase, the photosynthesis's rate increases too.. and vice versa. once it denaturated, the rate may slowed down
