PhotosynthesisCombustion
Photosynthesis is a process in which carbon dioxide and water combine to produce glucose, which is then broken down by lipids and other enzymes.Energy is released during combustion, but it is consumed by plants during photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis occurs in the presence of sunlight in the green leaves of plants.Combustion occurs continuously without the presence of sunlight.
Energy is created during photosynthesis.
Energy is lost during combustion.

Thus Photosynthesis is the reverse process of combustion.
