Answer:

The energy used to break the bonds in carbon dioxide and water is more than the energy released during the formation of bonds in glucose and oxygen.

Step-by-step explanation:

More energy goes into breaking the bonds of the reactants of photosynthesis than is released during the formation of products. The energy difference is stored as chemical potential energy.
