Answer:

Kranz anatomy helps in avoiding photorespiration in C4 plants as compared to C3 plants. As photorespiration is a wasteful process, kranz anotomy provides advantage to C4 plants.✔✔❤❣☺️

Photorespiration is defined as a wasteful process that occurs in C3 plants and decreases the efficiency of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

RUBISCO (ribulose biphosphate carboxylase oxygenase) is the major enzyme involved in photorespiration. This enzyme binds to oxygen instead of carbon-dioxide if concentration of oxygen is higher than that of oxygen.

But C4 plants have anatomical advantage over C3 plants. They have Kranz-Anatomy to avoid photorespiration. They possess two types of cells-mesophyll cell and bundle sheath cells. They also uses another enzyme PEP (phosphoenol pyruvate) carboxylase to avoid the photorespiration.
