At a temperature above `35^(@)C`A. rate of photsynthesis will decline earlier than that of respirationB. rate of respiration will decline earlier than that of photosynthesisC. both decline simultaneouslyD.

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Optimum temperature for photosynthesis is `10^(@)-25^(@)C` for `C_(3)` -plant and `30^(@)-45^(@)C` for `C_(4)` -plants Optimum temperature for respiration is `20^(@)C-30^(@)C` , i.e., respiration has a higher temperature optimum than photosynthesis and thus declines later.
