Which limitation arises for C3 plants at high temperatures, thus impacting rubisco function within the chloroplast?

A)Photorespiration outcompetes carbon fixation.
B)Electron transport saturates, halting ATP.
C)Stomata close, enhancing CO2 intake.
D)Chlorophyll synthesis declines drastically.

💡 Explanation

Photorespiration increases because rubisco fixes O2 rather than CO2 when CO2 levels are low due to heat accelerating water loss and stomatal closure; therefore, photosynthetic efficiency plummets, rather than increasing CO2 intake or a decline in factors like, chlorophyll.
