Yes it does, The rate of photosynthesis in relation to temperature forms a bell curve. At low temperatures the enzymes responsible for photosynthesis have very little energy so the rate of photosynthesis is very slow. if it is cold enough for water to freeze it can be very harmful to a plant. as the temperature increases, the enzymes get more energy so the rate of photosynthesis increases. If it gets too hot the enzymes begin to lose their shape (denature). this means they are unable to function properly and the rate of photosynthesis decreases again. also at higher temperatures the stomata close to prevent water loss. this also stops gas exchange which slows photosynthesis even further. if it is hot enough for water to boil this can be very harmful.

∙ 13y agolight intesity increases levels of CO2 around a plant until the rate of photosynthesis reaches a plateau
raising the temparatur accelerates the various chemical reactions involved in photosynthesis

∙ 12y agolight is a key contributor to the photosynthesis process, but it can only be processed if there are enough other contributors to go with it (such as water and nutrients) so if the plant was to take in more nutrients, it can take in more light, as these combine to make the products, (sugars, oxygen etc).

What affects the rate of photosynthesis?
The main variables which affect photosynthesis are light, CO2 concentration and temperature. You should be able to explain how each of these has their effect on the rate of photosynthesis. Although water is needed as a raw material for photosynthesis, if water is short, it will cause the plant to wilt (and thereby lose its ability to capture sunlight) long before it limits photosynthesis at the biochemical level. On a deeper level, other factors like amount of chlorophyll, availability of nutrients (eg Mg is needed for chlorophyll synthesis) will also affect the rate of photosynthesis, though these are rarely covered in discussion of this topic. John Hewitsonwater, temperature, and light intensity
How does pollution affects the rate of photosynthesis?
pollution effects the whole cycle of photsynthesis.
Why are light and temperature limiting factor of Photosynthesis?
Light and temperature are both limiting factors for photosynthesis because both are required for the process to take place. Photosynthesis will only occur between certain temperature ranges. If the temperature becomes too high or too low photosynthesis will slow down and eventually stop. Light is similar in the sense that too little light will stop the process and too much light will no longer increase the rate of photosynthesis for the plant.
How does the tempurature affect the rate of photosynthesis?
The rate of photosynthesis in relation to temperature forms a bell curve. At low temperatures the enzymes responsibility for photosynthesis have very little energy so the rate of photosynthesis is very slow. If it is cold enough for water to freeze it can be very harmful to a plant. As the temperature increases, the enzymes get more energy so the rate of photosynthesis increases. If it gets too hot the enzymes begin to lose their shape (denature). This means they are unable to function properly and the rate of photosynthesis decreases again. Also, at higher temperatures the stomata close to prevent water loss. This also stops gas exchange which slows photosynthesis even further. If it is hot enough for water to boil this can be very harmful.
Does photosynthesis temperature light and water can affect the outcome?
yes
How temperature affects photosynthesis not only about its rate?
Photosynthesis happens rapidly when there is sunlight. Sunlight is a main factor necessary for Photosynthesis. So if the temperature is not hot enough, photosynthesis might not happen as rapidly as it happens when the sunlight is directly there.
Does the solar eclipse affects the photosynthesis?
Yes it affects the process of photosynthesis. As solar eclipse block out some sunlight, the rate of photosynthesis will be slower.
How can photosynthesis be increased by increasing the temperature?
Temperature affects living things mainly by affecting the rate of chemical reactions. These are catalysed by enzymes, which are speeded up by increasing the temperature. The Calvin cycle is a series of chemical reactions, so increasing the temperature increases the rate of reactions in the Calvin cycle and so increases the rate of photosynthesis.
Which describes a disruption in the water cycle that could affect photosynthesis?
Polluted water affects water cycle. It also affects photosynthesis.
How latitudes affects temperature?
Latitude Affects temperature.
Could photosynthesis decrease if you increase light-intensity?
Temperature affects the rate. Because of it is using enzymes.
How does drought affect photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis requires sunlight (it is one of the main factors necessary for Photosynthesis) and during droughts sunlight is not obtainable. Therefore, it affects the process of Photosynthesis.
How does water affects plant?
Help's in photosynthesis
How does the temperature affects colors?
it is a warm color, therefore it affects warm temperature. it is a warm color, therefore it affects warm temperature.
What combination of environmental factors affects the rates of photosynthesis?
Water, Light and Temperature are the main environmental factors that will affect photosynthesis, along with availability of CO2. However, light is the main factor. In general, the rate of photosynthesis increases as the light intensity increases, until all of the pigments are being used.
How does the greenhouse effect affect plants and animals?
It affects them by photosynthesis.
