Above 380C and below OoC the rate of photosynthesis decreases. Propose a hypothesis to explain why this occurs.
Effectus [21]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Enzyme activity decrease at these temperatures. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Photosynthesis is facilitated by the action of various enzymes and involves light and dark reactions.  In <em>light reactions chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and creates ATP AND NADPH</em>. In dark reactions carbon is fixed using the <em>ATP and NADPH. </em>

The efficiency of all these activities depends on the activity of enzymes which depends on the temperature. The optimum temperature range where the enzyme activity is optimal is about <em>10°c - 20°c</em>. At low temperatures and high temperatures enzyme activity is less efficient.

<em>At a temperature above 38°c and below  0°c enzyme activity decreases. </em>

Why is mechanical digestion and important to chemical digestion
dangina [55]
They are both important because mechanical has to do with physical - cause mechanical means physical, so chewing your mouth is physical (you break your food into smaller pieces physically). And then chemical digestion is when food and saliva mix together. They happen when breaking down food into nutrients - enzymes. Enzymes are important for that process, because they make a nutrient.
