Select the FALSE statement: PCO, or photosynthetic carbon oxidation, is the same

Question

Select the FALSE statement:

PCO, or photosynthetic carbon oxidation, is the same as photorespiration where O2 is taken up by Rubisco rather than CO2 and eventually for every 2O2's three of a possible four 3-PGA's are recycled at some energy cost.

B. PCR, or photosynthetic carbon reduction, is the same as the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle

C. PCR is the same as the light-independent reactions

D. Vc is equivalent to the rate of PCO
and Vo is equivalent to the rate of PCR.
