C4 plants have an alternative CO2 fixation pathway called Hatch and Slack cycle where QAA, a 4C compound is the first stable product. These plants have Kranz anatomy in leaf.
Light reaction in stroma lamellae of the chloroplast results in the formation of
NADPH
ATP + NADPH
ATP K
O2
In leaves of Ce plants, malic acid synthesis during CO2 fixation occurs in
Bundle sheath
Mesophyll
Epidermis
Guard cells

No increase in production (nitrogen content of soil remains same)
A lot of increase in production (nitrogen content of soil increases)
Fertility of soil decreases
Fertility of soil increases
