(N/A) Photosynthesis is a process catalyzed by enzymes. Each enzyme functions optimally within a specific temperature range. When the temperature increases beyond this optimal level (typically $25-35^{\circ}C$),the enzymes undergo denaturation or lose their functional efficiency. Consequently,the rate of photosynthesis decreases.
