Diagram of the leaf anatomy of typical C3 (A) and C4 (B) plants. In C4 plants, there are two mesophyll cells between neighboring vascular bundles, whereas in C3 plants, there are more than two. Also, the bundle sheath cells in C4 plants are much larger and contain more chloroplasts, as indicated by color intensity.
