Detailed Solution

Both statement I and statement II are correct.

Statement I is correct. C3 and C4 plants have different photosynthetic pathways and respond differently to changes in CO2 concentration. C4 plants have a more efficient carbon fixation mechanism that allows them to perform photosynthesis effectively even at lower CO2 concentrations compared to C3 plants. C4 plants are better adapted to environments with limited CO2 availability, such as hot and dry conditions.

Statement II is also accurate. Both C3 and C4 plants require adequate light for photosynthesis to occur. In low light conditions, the rate of photosynthesis in both C3 and C4 plants can be limited, and increasing CO2 concentration alone may not significantly enhance their photosynthetic rates. Light is a primary limiting factor for photosynthesis, and without sufficient light, the benefits of elevated CO2 concentrations may not be fully realized.
