Most plants are c3 plants. c4 plants have a additional
route of fixing carbon. before the c3 cycle in these plants
there is another cycle where the first stable compund is a
4 carbon compund ( oxalo acetic acid).Essentially all c4
plants have c3 cycle too, but not vice versa. these plants

difference. c4 example would be amaranth
