Temperature affects the stomatal opening and closing mechanism which affects the oxygen concentration.
Temperature affects the amount of water that is the raw material of respiration
Each species only respires under certain temperature conditions.
Respiration consists of chemical reactions that require enzyme catalysis, so it is strongly dependent on temperature.
The general equation of respiration is:
C6H12O6 + O2 ---> CO2 + H2O + Q (energy).
C6H12O6 + O2 ---> 12CO2 + 12H2O + Q (energy).
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Q (energy).
