Features of C4 Plants Characteristics A. Kranz Anatomy 1. Special leaf anatomy with bundle sheath cells arranged in a wreath-like pattern. B. Tolerance to High Temperatures 2. Adapted to withstand higher temperatures compared to C3 plants. C. Response to High Light Intensities 3. Efficient in utilizing high light levels for photosynthesis. D. Lack of Photorespiration 4. Avoids the process of photorespiration, leading
Options
- AA - 4, B - 2, C - 3, D - 1
- BA - 2, B - 3, C - 1, D - 4
- CA - 3, B - 4, C - 2, D - 1
- DA - 4, B - 1, C - 2, D - 3
Correct answer
A. A - 4, B - 2, C - 3, D - 1
Step-by-step solution
A - 4: C4 plants lack photorespiration, which allows them to fix carbon more efficiently than C3 plants. B - 2: C4 plants are adapted to tolerate higher temperatures compared to C3 plants. C - 3: They show a strong response to high light intensities, enhancing their photosynthetic efficiency. D- 1: Kranz Anatomy refers to the special leaf anatomy of C4 plants, where bundle sheath cells are arranged in a wreath-like pattern around the vascular bundles.
