Low rate of respiration at high altitude

(B) At high altitudes,the temperature is generally lower. Lower temperatures lead to a reduced rate of respiration in plants. Since respiration consumes the carbohydrates produced during photosynthesis,a lower rate of respiration means that more carbohydrates are available to be stored in the potato tubers. This accumulation of stored food results in larger potato sizes.
