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.

Yes!


Is prickly peare cactus a c3 or c4 plant?

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.

What is a cam plant crabgrass pea corn or pineapple?

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.
