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
