Abstract
1.
1. Isolated pea chloroplasts were used to determine effects of temperature on photosynthetic CO2 fixation in saturating light and high CO2.
2.
2. Increases in temperature between 5° and 30° increased the maximum rate and shortened an initial induction period. The maximum rate was not an exponential function of temperature.
3.
3. Above 20°, values for the Q10 were less than 2. Below 15° they were greater than 2 and increased progressively, with decreasing temperature, to values as high as 9.
4.
4. The results, obtained with a purely photosynthetic system, support earlier work with intact organisms which led some investigators to conclude that photosynthesis did not obey the Arrhenius law. It is suggested that this may be a consequence of the cyclic nature of the reactions involved.
