In general, as temperature rises, so does reaction rate. This is because the rate of reaction is dependent on the collision of the reacting molecules or atoms. As temperature rises, molecules or atoms respond with increased motion, increasing the collision rate, thus increasing the reaction rate.
The Effect of Temperature on Respiration Rate. The rate of respiration increases with increasing temperature until an optimum temperature is reached, after which, it decreases. This is due to enzyme (i.e. any of numerous complex proteins that are produced by living cells) kinetics.
