In C4 plants, the bundle sheath cells

Question

In C4 plants, the bundle sheath cells (A) have thin walls to facilitate gaseous exchange (B) have large intercellular spaces (C) are rich in PEP carboxylase (D) have a high density of chloroplasts

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In the leaves of C4 plants, the vascular bundles are surrounded by bundle sheath of larger parenchymatous cells, which in turn are surrounded by mesophyll cells. Bundle sheath cells have a high density of larger chloroplasts which always lack grana whereas chloroplasts of mesophyll cells are smaller.
