Question

Kranz anatomy is seen in which of the following plants?

• A. Rice
• B. Banyan
• C. Potato
• D. Sugarcane

Answer 1

The correct option is D Sugarcane

Kranz anatomy is seen in $C_4$ plants like sugarcane. Kranz anatomy is a specialized structure seen in $C_4$ plants where the mesophyll cells are clustered around the bundle sheath in a ring-like structure. The presence of the Kranz anatomy and the $C_4$ pathway in $C_4$ plants increases the concentration of $C{O}_2$ around the Rubisco enzyme and ensures that photorespiration does not occur.

Rice, banyan, and potato are $C_3$ plants.
