Temperature affects photosynthesis by influencing enzymes. While an initial temperature increase can speed up reactions, higher temperatures also increase photorespiration, limiting the rate of photosynthesis even if enzymes are not denatured.
La temperatura afecta la fotosíntesis al influir en las enzimas. Si bien un aumento inicial de la temperatura puede acelerar las reacciones, temperaturas más altas también aumentan la fotorrespiración, lo que limita la tasa de fotosíntesis a pesar de que las enzimas no estén desnaturalizadas.
| Front | limiting factors of photo temp |
|---|---|
| Back | temp (all reactions in CC controlled by enzymes, and so affected by temp, as temp inc, it also inc rates of photorespiration, and so rate of photosynthesis doesnt peak at the higher temps, even when enzymes not denatured |
