Kama means desire and Karma is any activity with an intention. Instinctive activities are not Karma, where as the very thought of any action is Karma because of the desire behind it. So, it is Kama that renders an activity into Karma.

Kama involves sensual gratification, sexual fulfillment, pleasure of the senses, love, and the ordinary enjoyments of life regarded as one of the four ends of man (purusharthas). Kama is the lowest step on the ladder of aims in Hindu life, below worldly status (artha), because even animals seek physical pleasures. The other two purusharthas are dharma and moksha.
Karma is a sum of all that an individual has done, is currently doing and will do. The effects of all deeds actively create present and future experiences, thus making one responsible for one's own life, and the pain in others. In religions that incorporate reincarnation, karma extends through one's present life and all past and future lives as well.

You kind of shocked me with this question. Lterally, in Snaskrit and most north Indian languages Karma means action and Kama means physical, sexual, mental or any other worldly pleasure.
