Photosynthesis and combustion share the characteristic that **they both involve chemical change**.
In photosynthesis, plants convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight, resulting in a chemical transformation. In combustion, a fuel reacts with oxygen to produce energy, carbon dioxide, and water, also resulting in a chemical change. While photosynthesis stores energy, combustion releases energy, but both processes involve changes in the chemical composition of substances.
