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. |
I: | there is no synthesis of sugars |
II: | there is release of carbon dioxide with the utilization of ATP |
III: | ATP is synthesized but NADPH is not synthesized |
Statement I: | In C4 plants, photorespiration does not occur. |
Statement II: | C4 plants do not have RuBisCO in any of their cells. |

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. |

Statement I: | Except for plants in shade or in dense forests, light is rarely a limiting factor in nature. |
Statement II: | There is a linear relationship between incident light and carbon dioxide fixation rates at low light intensities. |

Statement I: | Green house crops such as tomatoes and bell pepper are allowed to grow in carbon dioxide enriched atmosphere. This leads to higher yields. |
Statement II: | C3 plants respond to higher carbon dioxide concentration by showing increased rates of photosynthesis, leading to higher productivity. |

I: | Water stress can cause the stomata to close, hence, reducing the carbon dioxide availability. |
II: | Water stress also makes leaves wilt, thus, reducing the surface area of the leaves and their metabolic activity as well. |
