Q. In Kranz anatomy, the bundle sheath cells have
A) Thin walls, no intercellular spaces and several chloroplasts
B) Thick walls, many intercellular spaces and few chloroplasts
C) Thin walls, many intercellular spaces and no chloroplasts
D) Thick walls, no intercellular spaces and large number of chloroplasts
Explanation
[Solution from source] In Kranz anatomy of C₄ leaves, the bundle sheath cells are large, have thick walls, lack intercellular spaces and contain a large number of chloroplasts, where the Calvin cycle runs. Thin walls, intercellular spaces or few chloroplasts describe mesophyll-type cells, not the bundle sheath. Answer (4).
