Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Mesophyll chloroplasts
Most of the plants that are adapted to dry tropical regions
have the C4 pathway. These plants are called C4 plants. Sugarcane,
Maize, Sorghum, etc. are the examples of these plants. In these plants, double
fixation of carbon dioxide occurs. In C4 plants, the Calvin cycle occurs
in the bundle-sheath cells. Calvin cycle enzymes such as RubisCo is absent from
the mesophyll cell of chloroplast of C4 plant. These enzymes are present
in the bundle-sheath cells surrounding the vascular bundles, guard cells and
epidermal cells of chloroplasts.
