    Question: Kranz type of anatomy is found in

    Options:

    Sunflower
    Soybean
    Sorghum
    Spinach

    ✅ Explanation: Kranz anatomy is a specialized leaf structure characteristic of C4 plants. It involves a distinct arrangement of mesophyll cells and bundle sheath cells surrounding the vascular bundles. This anatomical feature facilitates the C4 photosynthetic pathway, which helps these plants minimize photorespiration and efficiently utilize carbon dioxide, particularly in hot and dry environments. Sorghum is a classic example of a C4 plant exhibiting Kranz anatomy.

    🔑Key Points :
    -Kranz anatomy is a type of leaf structure where the tissue equivalent to spongy mesophyll cells is clustered in a ring around the leaf veins outside the bundle sheath cells.
    -Kranz's anatomy is a feature of C4 plants.
    -Here, the spongy mesophyll cell forms a ring around the cambium in the veins of the plant.
    -The bundle sheath cells are present outside the ring.
    -Bundle sheath form layers around it.
    -It aids in photosynthesis and increases its rate.
    -Maize and sorghum are examples.
