Question

How does temperature affect the efficiency of photosynthesis?
Options
A Increases efficiency linearly
B Affects enzyme activity; extreme temperatures inhibit photosynthetic enzymes
Correct Answer
C Has no measurable effect
D Only impacts light absorption
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Photosynthesis involves many enzyme-catalyzed reactions (like those in the Calvin cycle). Enzyme activity has an optimal temperature range; temperatures too low or too high will decrease efficiency.

Hint

Like most biological processes, it depends on enzyme function.
