The Effect of Temperature on Photosynthesis

When the temperature rises the rate of photosynthesis rises also. This is because the particles in the reaction move quicker and collide more. There is an optimum temperature however. At this point the rate of photosynthesis progresses as fast as it can, limited only by the other factors. Beyond this temperature the enzymes controlling the reaction become denatured and the reaction quickly comes to a halt.
