Photosynthesis:

Carbon dioxide + water + sunlight -> Glucose + oxygen

Cellular respiration:

Glucose + oxygen -> carbon dioxide + water + ATP

Photosynthesis takes carbon dioxide from the air, uses energy from the sun to strip off the oxygen, and uses the carbon to make organic molecules like sugar.

Respiration takes organic molecules like sugar, combines them with oxygen, releasing energy and forming carbon dioxide.
