Does the rate of photosynthesis will decrease at a very temperature Why?
ShehlaParveenfb6540
The rate of photosynthesis depends on temperature the same way enzymes depend on temperature.
Photosynthesis involves enzyme assistance. Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions.
Enzymes are affected by pH and temperature. If the pH is too acidic or basic, enzymes will be denatured (which means they will change shape and not be able to catalyze reactions as well or entirely).
Same goes for temperature. If the temperature is too cold or too hot, the enzymes might deactivate, or their efficiency will be inhibited.
So, if the temperature of the organism's environment is too high or low, the rate of photosynthesis will decrease because the enzymes aren't working properly.
On the other hand, if the temperature is optimal for enzyme activity, the rate will increase, as production is at its high.

Does the rate of photosynthesis depend on the duration of light?
Low light intensity lowers the rate of photosynthesis, Normal sunlight is good for a normal rate of photosynthesis, Very high intensity bleaches (destruction) the chlorophyll
How does changing the temperature effect photosynthesis and why?
Photosynthesis doesn't really affect the temperature at all but it does help with making glucose and oxygen so we can breathe. Very good question. Hopefully it helped
How do plants perform photosynthesis in cold region?
Let us first take into account what effect a cold temperature has on photosynthesis.Generally, if it is cold, there will be less sunlight and the enzymes cannot function at their optimum temperature. As a result of this, we can conclude that the rate of photosynthesis will slow down.To adapt for this, plans generally have long, thin leaves to capture as much sunlight as possible. Organelles such as stroma which are involved in photosynthesis are located very close to the surface of the leaves to allow as much sun light to go into it as possible.
What effect would decreased incubation temperature have on pepsin activity and why?
Pepsin activity would decrease. At a very low temperature pepsin would be inactive.
Do plants use the oxygen released during photosynthesis for respiration?
Yes, plants, just like animals, require oxygen for the process of respiration. But during the day hours, they are involved in photosynthesis which requires the intake of carbon dioxide. The rate of respiration in plants is very low as compared to the rate of photosynthesis.
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.
Will the rate of dissolving of Ce SO4 2 too decrease?
Cerium sulfate is a very strange compound; increasing the temperature the solubility decrease.
As light intensity increases the rate of photsynthesis?
As light intensity increases at first the rate of photosynthesis also increases. However at higher light intensities the rate of photosynthesis levels off and becmes constant. This is because light is not the only factor needed for photosynthesis. So at high light intensities some other factor is running out eg CO2, temperature, so the extra light cannot be used. At very high intensities photosynthesis can decrease as the chlorophyll is bleached.
What factors can limit photosynthesis by being either too high or too low?
Photosynthesis can be limited by light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration, and temperature. Temperature must be at an optimum level in order to achieve the best results, while increasing light and carbon dioxide levels both increase the rate of photosynthesis until reaching a plateau. At very high levels, light will damage chlorophyll and reduce the rate of photosynthesis.

What effects does temperature have on reaction rate?
An increase in temperature speeds up the reaction rate.

What is the rate of photosynthesis when the weather becomes very cold?
decreases
In many plants the rate of photosynthesis when the weather becomes very cold?
when the temperature is hot it speeds up the process of photosynthesis but when it is cold it slows down or even stops the process.
What effect would decrease incubation temperature have on pepsin activity?
Pepsin activity would decrease and at a very low temperature pepsin would be inactive.
What effect does low temperature have on photosynthesis?
At low temperatures the enzymes which carry out photosynthesis have very little energy, therefore they cannot perform photosynthesis very quickly. jordon Adams
How does the rate of diffusion in a gelatin at room temperature compare with the rate of diffusion in water at the same temperature?
The rate of diffusion in gelatin at room temperature is very slow. This is especially compared to the rate of diffusion in water at the same temperature.
