In Hatch and Slack pathway
Options
- Achloroplast are of same type
- Boccurs in Kranz anatomy where mesophyll have small chloroplast whereas bundle sheath have granal chloroplast
- Coccurs in Kranz anatomy when mesophyll have small chloroplast where as bundle sheath have larger, agranal chlo
- DKranz anatomy where mesophyll cell are diffused
Correct answer
C. occurs in Kranz anatomy when mesophyll have small chloroplast where as bundle sheath have larger, agranal chlo
Step-by-step solution
C ₄ plants have "Kranz type" anatomy. Vascular bundles are surrounded by bundle sheath cells. The chloroplasts are dimorphic. The cells of bundle sheath have very large chloroplasts. They lack grana and contain starch grains. They are centripetally arranged and mesophyll cells have small and agranal chloroplast.
