DNA is composed of four different base groups, which can form endless numbers of different sequences, which have the capacity to synthesize a wide variety of protein molecules, or to synthesize RNA which will synthesize protein molecules, and these protein molecules are the basis of all biochemistry; they form the catalysts and structural elements which create, regulate, and maintain all living organisms.

Does photosynthesis increase or decrease rapidly at very high temperatures?

Essentially, photosynthesis takes 12 simple molecules and organizes them into a more complex molecule (glucose) and six oxygen molecules. There are two processes mentioned that indicates entropy is negative (decreasing): simple molecules are organized in to complex molecules and the overall number of molecules decreases.

What is the process of joining simple sugars into complex carbohydrates called?

I'm not aware of a specific name for simple sugar->complex carbohydrate conversion. But I know that it is a form of condensation polymerisation - when water is removed from the sugar molecules they join together to fill up vacant chemical bondsS. Syhnthesis Hydration is the process in which a water molecule is removed from two sugar molecules to bond into one complex molecule. The opposite of this process would be called Hydrolisis which would be when water molecules would be added to a complex molecule to create two simple sugar molecules.
