Why does the rate of photosynthesis decrease at higher temperatures?
(N/A) Photosynthesis is a process catalyzed by enzymes. Each enzyme functions optimally within a specific temperature range. When the temperature increases beyond this optimal level (typically $25-35^{\circ}C$),the enzymes undergo denaturation or lose their functional efficiency. Consequently,the rate of photosynthesis decreases.

View SolutionAssertion : The atmospheric concentration of $CO_2$ at which photosynthesis just compensates for respiration is referred to as $CO_2$ compensation point.
Reason : The $CO_2$ compensation point is reached when the amount of $CO_2$ uptake is less than that generated through respiration because the level of $CO_2$ in the atmosphere is more than that required for achieving $CO_2$ compensation point.
