Team JKSSB Mock Tests · Accepted Answer

In C4 plants, the leaves exhibit Kranz anatomy, where the vascular bundles are surrounded by a distinct layer of bundle sheath cells. These bundle sheath cells are large and contain numerous, large chloroplasts that lack grana (agranal). Because they lack grana, they cannot perform the light-dependent reactions (which require PSII, located in the grana) but are highly efficient at performing the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions) in a high CO2 environment, minimizing photorespiration.
