I: | The C4 acid OAA is formed in the mesophyll cells. |
II: | Malic acid or aspartic acid are transported to the bundle sheath cells. |
III: | C4 acids are broken down to release carbon dioxide and a 3 carbon molecule in mesophyll cells. |
IV: | The 3 carbon molecule is transported back to the bundle sheath cell where it is converted to PEP again. |

Statement I: | Despite the presence of a green leaf, optimal light and carbon dioxide conditions, the plant may not photosynthesize if the temperature is very low. |
Statement II: | If a chemical process is affected by more than one factor, then its rate will be determined by the factor which is nearest to its minimal value. |
