What is the role of large bundle sheath cells found around the vascular bundles in C4 plants?

1. To protect the vascular tissue from high light intensity.
2. To provide the site for photorespiratory pathway.
3. To increase the number of chloroplast for the operation of Calvin cycle.
4. To enable the plant to tolerate high temperature.

Cplants are photosynthetically more efficient than Cplants because :
1. They have more chloroplasts
2. The COcompensation point is more
3. The COefflux is not prevented 
4. COgenerated during photosynthesis is trapped and recycled through PEP-carboxylase
