Answer:
When the temperature rises the rate of photosynthesis rises also. There is an optimum temperature at which the rate of photosynthesis is maximum. Beyond this temperature, the reaction quickly comes to a halt.
Explanation:
When the temperature rises, the particles in the reaction move quicker and collide more, so the rate of photosynthesis rises also.
Picture
At the optimum temperature, the enzyme is most efficient and the rate if maximum.
Picture
At temperatures above 40°C the rate slows down. This is because the enzymes involved in the chemical reactions of photosynthesis are temperature sensitive and destroyed (denatured) at higher temperatures.
