See Below - I'll assume you mean combustion of glucose
Explanation:
Chemically speaking, they are the reverse of one another.
Photosynthesis:
This is endothermic, and requires 2800kJ/mole (energy put into the system)
Combustion:
This is exothermic, and releases 2800kJ/mole (energy released when the reaction is complete...i.e. where the flame comes from)
