Question

Kranz anatomy is typical of
(a) C₄ plants (b) C₃ plants
(c) C₂ plants (d) CAM plants

Answer 1

Answer:C4 plants

Explanation:

Answer 2

The Kranz anatomy is found in C₄ plants.

Explanation:

• In C₄ plants light dependent reactions and light independent reactions occur separately.
• The Kranz anatomy specifies that the mesophyll cells are clustered around bundle sheath cells in the form of a ring.
• The Calvin cycle usually occurs inside the bundle sheath cells and the light dependent reaction occur in mesophyll cells.
• Oxaloacetate is formed inside the mesophyll cells which gets converted into malate and is transported to bundle sheath cells.
• An example of C₄ plant is maize.
