do we need to know about C3, C4 and CAM??? I think my brain is gonna explode😱

I think it would be a good idea...

here are some easy ones -

C3 - rubisco (binds to O2 when CO2 is scarce) used for oxidation, produce a 3 carbon molecule

C4 - uses PEP carboxylase (binds only to CO2, even when low [CO2]), a 4 carbon molecule is produced

CAM - uses PEP carboxylase, opens stomata at night (respiration takes place at night)

hope this helps! I feel like my head's going to explode too! my test's in 3 days...aaaaaahhhh!!
