PLEASE HELP ASAP. A classmate is arguing that energy is lost during photosynthesis, and energy is created during cellular respiration. Use the equations for the reactions and your previous knowledge to critique his arguments.

Explanation:

Energy is usually absorbed during photosynthesis.

 Photosynthesis is the process whereby green plants manufacture their food in the presence of sunlight(energy source), water and carbon dioxide:

        6CO₂    +     6H₂O          →           C₆H₁₂O₆          +       6O₂

                                                 ↑

                                          Sunlight

Sunlight supplies solar energy that is used to converted the chemical species into glucose that stores chemical energy.

  Respiration is the reverse of photosynthesis. In this reaction, oxygen gas combines with glucose to produce energy with water and carbon dioxide as by products. The energy stored in photosynthesis is released during respiration.

             C₆H₁₂O₆          +       6O₂           →   6CO₂    +     6H₂O  ↑ energy
