No, papaya is not a C4 plant; it is classified as a C3 plant. C3 plants use the Calvin cycle for photosynthesis, which is typical for many species in temperate climates. C4 plants, on the other hand, have a different photosynthetic pathway that allows them to efficiently fix carbon dioxide in hot and dry environments, like maize and sugarcane. Papaya thrives in tropical climates, but it does not possess the C4 photosynthetic mechanism.
Yes, the papaya plant is a large tropical herb.
It is a flowering plant
The scientific name of the papaya plant is Carica papaya.
Yes, but if you die, you drop the C4.
Corn, or maize, is a C4 plant. A c4 plant relates to a group of plants that feature 4-carbon molecules present after the first product of carbon fixation.
a plant which creates a four carbon (C4) sugar as its basic sugar unit when performing photosynthesis. example- corn (maize)

No. Corn is a C4 plant.
Yes, crabgrass is a C4 plant. C4 plants have a specialized mechanism for carbon fixation that allows them to adapt to hot and dry conditions, making them well-suited for growth in environments where C3 plants may struggle.
Yes
A number of English speakers use the term papaya, but pawpaw and papaw are also used. A link can be found below for more information.
