In this case, we have how photosynthesis work with temperature, after reaching its maximum rate (point B), as temperature increases, the photosynthesis rate decreases until the process is null (point C), this indicates that temperatures reaching 40°C and higher are not optimal and can suppress the process. In other words, in the curve from point B to C, we see a decreasing shape due to the loss of phosynthetical function by high temperatures.
