C4 plants make a 4 Carbon sugar in the mesophyll cells that enter the bundle sheath cells
Bundle sheath cells.
By looking at their anatomy, in C3 plants, bundle sheath cells do not contain chloroplasts; carbon fixation and Calvin Cycle reactions occur in mesophyll cells (and in the presence of oxygen). In C4 plants, the bundle sheath cells contain chloroplasts; carbon is fixed in mesophyll cells, then transported to bundle sheath cells where Calvin Cycle reactions occur in the absence of oxygen. In both, photosynthesized sugars then enter the plant's vascular system. C4 have a concentric arrangement of the bundle sheath and mesophyll layer, the bundle sheath is also thicker. Another difference is their intervenial distances, from one bundle sheath to another you have in C4 only around 4 mesophyll cells but on 3 they are separated by 12. Overall, C4 plants are more adapted to environments with more oxygen, and C3 plants are more adapted to environments with more carbon dioxide.

C4 plants have concentric rings of mesophyll cells around vascular bundle sheath in the leaves.
Kranz means wreath in German. Kranz anatomy refers to an arrangement of bundle sheath cells surrounded by mesophyll cells in C4 plants. This arrangement ensures that mesophyll cells are no more than 2-4 cell layers away from the bundle sheath cells. Hence, the transport of C4 cycle metabolites is facilitated via plasmodesmata through these two cell types. Note that Kranz anatomy is not mandatory for C4 cycle.
It is called a dendrite.~
Yes, the light reactions are necessary in the Mesophyll cells of C4 plants. The reason light reactions should be done in the Mesophyll cells because it is essential in the making of CO2 for the Calvin Cycle in the bundle sheath cells. The Mesophyll cells do not contain Rubisco. Instead they fix carbon dioxide by combining it with a 3-carbon acid. Unlike Rubisco, the enzyme that catalyzes this reaction distinguishes well between carbon dioxide and oxygen. The resulting 4-carbon acid is rearranged and sends to the bundle sheath cells, as shown in Figure 4.22. There, carbon dioxide is released from the 4-carbon acid is rearranged and then transported to the bundle sheath cells, as shown in figure 4.22. There, carbon dioxide is released from the 4-carbon acid and fixed again by Rubisco, forming PGA by way of Calvin cycle.

how the sperm cells structure is linked to the cells function, the tall sheath?
The myelin sheath wraps around the around the axon of a neuron. The gaps of the myelin sheath are not insulated and are therefore capable of generating electrical activity.
