Which of the following statements is CORRECT regarding C 4 plants as compared with CAM plants?

In C4 plants, carbon dioxide capture and the Calvin cycle occur in different cell types (mesophyll cells for CO2 capture and bundle-sheath cells for the Calvin cycle), while in CAM plants, these processes occur in the same cells but at different times (CO2 capture at night and the Calvin cycle during the day).
