Solution Preview
In general, rate of photosynthesis increases with an increase in light intensity. However, for each plant species, there is a maximum level of light intensity above which photosynthesis does not increase. If the temperatures exceed a certain degree and overheat, the enzymes will get damaged or lost and inevitably die.
C4 plants survive better in higher daytime temperatures as compared to C3. C3 plants need moderate conditions to grow. Tomato belongs to C3 ...
