Topic: C3 and C4 pathways, photorespiration· Plant Physiology

What is the role of large bundle shealth cells found around the vascular bundles in C_4 plants ?

1. To protect the vascular tissue from high light intensity

2. To provide the site for photorespiratory pathway

3. To increase the number of chloroplast for the operation of Calvin cycle

4. To enable the plant to tolerate high temperature

Best answer

Answer: 3. To increase the number of chloroplast for the operation of Calvin cycle

The large bundle sheath cells of C4 plants hold many chloroplasts, which operate the Calvin cycle there after CO2 is released from the C4 acid. The other options are not their main role.
