In Hatch and Slack pathway:
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.
1. Only I and II are correct
2. II, III and IV are incorrect
3. Only I, II and III are correct
4. I, II, III and IV are correct
