313) Malic acid (4-C) is produced in which plant without Kranz anatomy? (1) Bryophyllum plant (2) Kalanchoe plants (3) Opuntia plants (4) All of the above.. explain In Detail.
Dear student,
Answer:4) All of the above
Kranz anatomy is unique feature of C4 plants. Bryophyllum, Kalanchoe, and Opuntia plants are CAM plants. They lack Kranz anatomy. In CAM plants also CO2 is fixed into a four carbon malic acid as in the case of C4 plants. But CAM plants do not relocate CO2 molecules but choose the time when to capture CO2 from the environment.
Regards.
