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.

2. II, III and IV are incorrect
3. Only I, II and III are correct
4. I, II, III and IV are correct

Water affects the process of photosynthesis in higher plants because:
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.

Joseph Priestley (1733-1804) in 1770 performed a series of experiments that revealed the essential role of air in the growth of green plants. Priestley observed that a candle burning in a closed space – a bell jar, soon gets extinguished (Figure a, b, c, d). Similarly, a mouse would soon suffocate in a closed space. He concluded that a burning candle or an animal that breathe the air, both somehow, damage the air. But when he placed a mint plant in the same bell jar, he found that the mouse stayed alive and the candle continued to burn.

The conclusions that can be drawn from these experiments will be:
I: Plants restore to the air whatever breathing animals and burning candles remove.
II: Sunlight is essential to the plant process that somehow purifies the air fouled by burning candles or breathing animals.
