In Section 12.1, it is written that most cells of a plant have at least a part of their surface in contact with air. The arguments in favor of this statement include all except:
1. Flattened leaves
2. Closely packed parenchyma in most regions
3. Presence of lenticels
4. Mostly dead cells in the interior

Consider the two statements:

Statement I: Inside a cell, the glucose molecule is oxidised not in one step but in several small steps.
Statement II: Some steps will be just large enough such that energy liberated can be coupled to ATP synthesis.
 
1. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct and Statement II explains Statement I
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct but Statement II does not explain Statement I
3. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
4. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
