Question : In what kind of plant do you come across 'Kanz' anatomy ? To which conditions are those plants better adapted ? How are these plants better adapted that the plants, which lack this anatomy?

Answer»

Solution :Kranz anatomy is seen in `C_(4)` plants. Two types of chloroplasts are seen in leaves of these plants.
Grana BASED chloroplast : They are in MESOPHYLL cells. Chloroplasts are fused with grana in cells. They can do fixation of `CO_(2)` at less consentration of `CO_(2)`. They have PEP carboxylase enzyme. That does fixation of `CO_(2)` and forms OAA (Oxalo Acetric Acid) compound fused with `C_(4)`
Chloroplast without graph : They are seen in cells of bundle sheath wher e there is `C_(3)` pathway and RuBisCo enzyme.
`C_(4)` plants can RuBisCO enzyme.
`C_(4)` plants can absorb `CO_(2)` if concentration of `CO_(2)` is also less.
However PEP carboxylase is INSENSITIVE towards `O_(2)`. So `O_(2)` is a resistant factor in `C_(4)` pathway. So photosynthesis doesn.t TAKE place.
Thus `C_(4)` plants are adapted to tropical regions and desert region.
