From my experience in a botany lab, photosynthesis peaks at an optimal temperature range (usually between 15-35°C) but drops off when it's colder or warmer than that.
Temperature affects the rate of photosynthesis big time! Too cold, and the enzymes slow down. Too hot, and they could get damaged. Think of it as trying to jog in a sauna vs. a freezer—neither is fun!
