Why would it be hard to find the ideal light intensity if the temperature were very hot or cold?

Question

Finding the ideal light intensity for photosynthesis can be challenging under extreme temperature conditions. If the temperature is too high, the enzymes involved in photosynthesis may denature, disrupting the process. Conversely, if the temperature is too low, cellular activity can slow down significantly, leading to a halt in photosynthesis. Therefore, both very hot and very cold temperatures can hinder the plant's ability to effectively utilize light for energy production.

Because photosynthesis wouldn't happen, if it's too hot then it would become denatured and too cold = cells would stop workingHOPE THIS HELPS ?

Because light is not hot nor cold.

In cold weather its rather hard to see because your eyes are constantly wanting to close and in heat you could hallucinate.I hope this helps

It would be hard to find ideal light intensity if the temperature were cold and hot becausethe photosynthesis would not happen if it is too hot then it would become too cold and denatured, then will result in cells would stop working. Since the light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis is not affected by changes in temperature than the whole rate increases. If the temperature goes above optimum the rates begin to decrease. The enzyme is being denatured until the time it stops.

Remember that CO2, light and heat (to activate the reaction and keep the enzymes happy) are all needed for a reaction. When one goes missing, it destroys the whole process. 1. No light = no reaction can be made. That means the plant wouldn't intake any CO2 anyway. 2. When very hot the enzymes will denature (plant dead) or when cold, the activation energy will not be there. So once again, it will not respond to light as it is not its primary concern.

The correct answer for this question is this one: Light intensity is not dependent on temperature, with that said, plants (assuming that is what were talking about) would dehydrate faster at a higher temperature (unless they had mechanisms to cope e.g. C4 and CAM plants) with the same light intensity.

Under extreme temperatures Enzymes become inactivated or denatured. due to this reason there will be no change in Photosynthesis despite a change in Light intensity.
