### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Photosynthesis**: Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy, primarily in the form of glucose. This process is crucial for the survival of these organisms and for the ecosystem as a whole. 2. **Role of Enzymes**: Photosynthesis involves various biochemical reactions that are facilitated by enzymes. Enzymes are proteins that act as catalysts to speed up chemical reactions. Each enzyme has an optimal temperature range in which it functions most effectively. 3. **Optimal Temperature Range**: The optimal temperature for most enzymes involved in photosynthesis is typically between 25 to 35 degrees Celsius. Within this range, enzymes maintain their structure and function efficiently. ...
