Answer:
Explanation:
Carbon fixation in different temperatures can be clearly seen in the graph.
Explanation:
a) Above the optimum temperature, the increasing in environmental temperatures decreases the carbon fixation. This is because rubisco is an enzyme, a protein, and proteins tend to loose function at high temperatures due to getting close or even reaching denaturation.
b) Carbon fixation in different temperatures can be clearly seen in the graph. We can see how the rates go down as the temperature passes the optimal temperature.
c) The plants produce caarbohydrates due to a good carbon fixation, so we have to look at the worst carbon fixation rates in the graph. The lowest amount of carbogydrates will occur at temperatures around 50°C. Based on the knowledge we have about protein denaturation, we could even say temperatures above 50°C will show even lower carbohydrate production.
