What is not true regarding the factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis?
| 1. | There is a linear relationship between incident light and carbon dioxide fixation rates at low light intensities. |
| 2. | Current availability of carbon dioxide levels is limiting to the C4 plants. |
| 3. | C4 plants respond to higher temperatures and show higher rates of photosynthesis |
| 4. | Water stress causes the stomata to close, hence reducing the availability of carbon dioxide |

The correct and complete equation for the process of photosynthesis in higher plants will be:
| 1. | 6CO2 + 12H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2+ 6H2O |
| 2. | 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2 |
| 3. | CO2 + H2O + light energy → [CH2O] + O2 |
| 4. | C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O |
