The graphs above require some explanation. While the Concentration of Carbon Dioxide and Light Intensity mirror each other, temperature is its unique self. This is because photosynthesis can only work at so fast a rate, so no matter how high the concentration of CO2 or light you give it, photosynthesis will reach its peak, and it can't continue the process any faster. Temperature, however, plays a different effect on photosynthesis. As seen, there's a perfect temperature that photosynthesis works best at. This is because if the temperature is too cold, molecules will have a hard time moving around, slowing down photosynthesis. And if you have the temperature too hot, the enzymes within the plant begin to denature, also slowing down photosynthesis.
