How does temperature affect the rate of respiration in a plant?

Does Temperature Affect Cellular Respiration?

Within limits, rates of photosynthesis and respiration both rise with increasing temperatures.

higher temperature=enzymes work at opitmum level
lower temperature=enzymes function at slower rate

too high temperature=denaturation, or change in structure, of the enzyme occurs.
