Which photosynthetic bottleneck impacts plant growth as temperature rises?

💡 Explanation

Increased temperatures favor rubisco’s oxygenase activity rather than carboxylation, leading to increased photorespiration. This occurs because oxygen solubility does not decrease as much at higher temperatures as carbon dioxide solubility; therefore, favoring oxygen fixation rather than carbon.
