Q. In Hatch and Slack pathway,
A) Chloroplasts are of same type
B) Kranz anatomy occurs where mesophyll have small chloroplasts whereas bundle sheath have granal chloroplasts
C) Kranz anatomy occurs where mesophyll have small chloroplasts whereas bundle sheath have larger agranal chloroplasts
D) Kranz anatomy where mesophyll cells are diffused
Explanation
$C_{4}$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 white mesophyll cells have small and granal chloroplast.
