At low temperatures the enzymes which carry out photosynthesis have very little energy, therefore they cannot perform photosynthesis very quickly.

What are some factors that affect photosynthesis?
The factor that will effect photosynthesis the most is light. Plants need light in order for photosynthesis to take place. Water, air, pH, and temperature will also effect photosynthesis.
What are the three things that effect the rate of photosynthesis?
The amount of sunlight, the amount of CO2,the amount of warmth and the amount of water all effect photosynthesis.The amount of sunlight, the amount of CO2,the amount of warmth and the amount of water all effect photosynthesis.
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 high temperature effect photosynthesis?
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.
What are 4 factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Maybe a blockout of sunlight or not enough access to water and the temperature may be too low to slow photosynthesis down
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 could temperature increase effect plants?
Temperature is one of the three limiting factors of photosynthesis. The hotter it is the more photosynthesis can take place until you reach 40C and then it is too hot for the plant to function properly.
What would happen to the rate of photosynthesis if a plant was with ice water?
The rate will decline due to low temperature
Does the temperature of a room affect how fast a candle melts?
The room temperature is too low for an effect.
What is photothermal energy?
phtothermal effect is low power wavelength and using then low temperature & velocity.

Why would the rate of photosynthesis in plants be low both at low and high temperatures?
There are many factors that affect photosynthetic rate; temperature happens to be one of them. If temperature has no effect, then some other factor may be in play. This could be a biotic (population density, predation, etc) or abiotic factor (amount of sunlight, soil alkalinity, moisture, etc).

Why does temperature effect the physical state of matter?
a low temperature will freeze the substance, a high temperature will melt or turn the substance into vapor
Are there plant life in the abyssal zone?
No their is not. It would be impossible for plants to because of the low temperature and also the fact that it has no sunlight for photosynthesis.
