In what kind of plants do you come across ‘Kranz’ anatomy? To which conditions are those plants better adapted? How are these plants better adapted than the plants which lack this anatomy?

Solution:

C4 plants, such as maize, sugarcane, and others, have Kranz anatomy. These plants can withstand extremes in temperature and light intensity. These plants have also evolved to thrive in environments with minimal nitrogen and carbon dioxide. Unlike C3 plants, these plants do not have photorespiration. This aids in the production of the optimal amount of glucose. As a result, C4 plants produce more biomass than C3 plants while using half as many resources.
