C4 and CAM are types of photosynthesis that differ from the standard C3 type. In C4 and CAM, the stomata, or air pores, in the leaves only open at night to minimize moisture loss from evaporation. This mechanism is common in very hot or dry climates.
No, maize is not a CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) plant. Maize follows the C4 photosynthetic pathway, which is different from the CAM pathway in terms of carbon fixation and timing of metabolic processes.
The prickly pear cactus is a CAM plant, not a C3 or C4 plant. CAM plants use a different carbon fixation pathway called Crassulacean Acid Metabolism that helps them conserve water by opening their stomata at night.
They help the plant conserve water and synthesize glucose efficiently under hot, dry conditions.

Cam stands for Crassulacean acid metabolism. C3 and C4 conserve less water than Cam plants. Actually, C4 plant capture more carbon than C3 plant. In the struggle to reduce carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere, genetic scientists have modified some large scale crops into C4 bases. Cam plant is wholly different from C3 and C4 and examples of are the cactus and other succulent plants in order to survive in dry dusty regions. In Cam plants, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_fixation carbon fixation] occurs at night while C3 and C4 plants carry out photosynthesis during daylights.
No. Corn is a C4 plant.

Yes!

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 CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) plant is a type of plant that photosynthesizes at night to minimize water loss in arid conditions. Examples of CAM plants include certain succulents and cacti, but not crabgrass, peas, corn, or pineapples. Pineapple is a well-known CAM plant, utilizing this adaptation to thrive in dry environments, while crabgrass, peas, and corn primarily use C3 or C4 photosynthesis.
a plant which creates a four carbon (C4) sugar as its basic sugar unit when performing photosynthesis. example- corn (maize)
