Photosynthesis requires many enzymes to function. An example of one of these enzymes is rubisco, which is involved in carbon fixation to RuBP. All enzymes have a specific range of variables in which they perform optimally, like pH ranges or in this case temperature. At a boiling point temperature, it is likely photosynthesis will be nonexistent or at minimal levels. This is because at such a high temperature the enzymes can become denatured, and fail to perform.
This of course is not true for all types of photosynthesis, as there are some bacteria that are able to perform photosynthesis at extreme temperatures.

How does enzyme action affect the rate of photosynthesis?
It increases the rate of photosynthesis or vice versa...
Does the plant type affect photosynthesis rate?
Yes, by quite a bit.
What are the factors affect photosynthesis?
The intensity of light, concentration of carbon dioxide and temperature are the three main factors that affect photosynthesis. They determine the rate at which photosynthesis occurs.
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.

How does the leaf's thickness affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Leaf thickness is largely due to the thickness of the palisade mesophyll layer. This is where the chloroplast is located and therefore the site area in light is absorbed for photosynthesis. Thicker leaves means more chloroplast, and thus a faster rate of photosynthesis.

How do different pigments colors affect the rate of photosynthesis?
The wavelength of a color is directly related to the rate of photosynthesis, with longer wavelengths leading to higher rates of photosynthesis.
How do spider mites affect the rate of photosynthesis?
The spider eat.
Does the plant type affect photosynthesis rate?
Yes, by quite a bit.
What factor would least effect upon the rate of photosynthesis in a plant?
The breathing rate of cats. Actually, wait, that might affect photosynthesis. Hmm...good question. If you think about, everything affects photosynthesis. Here is a better question: What DOESN'T affect photosynthsis?
What are some factors that could affect the amount of photosynthesis in a plant?
What abiotic factors could affect the rate of photosynthesis in a plant?

How does temperature affect the rate of photoysistes?
The higher the temperature, the higher the rate of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is affected by more than one factor. The other factors are light and carbon dioxide.
What are three primary factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Temperature, light intensity, and the availability of water. Is this from Miller & Levine Bio p.241??
What factors can affect the rate of photosynthesis in a plant?
There are several factors.Temperature,CO2 concentration,H2O amound,light etc
