Given below are two statements: Statement I: In the C4 cycle, fixation of CO2 by the carboxylation of phosphoenol pyruvate in the mesophyll cells results in conversion to malate or aspartate. Statement II: The transport of C4 acids to the bundle sheath cells leads to decarboxylation and generation of CO2, which is finally reduced into carbohydrates via the Calvin cycle. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
1
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
2
Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
3
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
