Answer: cellular respiration reverses the overall photosynthetic reaction, but less efficiently. The useful energy output of respiration is less than the energy input required for photosynthesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

overall photosynthetic reaction

Light energy + 6CO2 + 6H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2

cellular respiration

C6H12O6 + 6O2 —> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy (as ATP and heat)
