Solution
No, they are not same. Calvin cycle is the result of carboxylase activity of Rubisco enzyme, whereas photorespiration is the result of oxygenase activity of Rubisco enzyme.
Photorespiration is a phenomenon in which there is no formation of ATP or NADPH, but there is utilization of ATP with release of CO2. It is also considered a wasteful process.
Calvin cycle occurs in all photosynthetic plants, The primary acceptor of CO2 is a 5-carbon ketose sugar called Ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP). Glucose is formed in calvin cycle.
