Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration like a savings account?

Today, my Biology teacher described Photosynthesis and Cellular respiration like a deposit and withdrawal from a savings account. I don't understand this, so please explain. What is photosynthesis storing and what is cellular respiration withdrawing?

Photosynthesis
--------------------------
Photosynthesis is the process by which organisms that contain the pigment chlorophyll convert light energy into chemical energy which can be stored in the molecular bonds of organic molecules (e.g., sugars). Photosynthesis powers almost all trophic chains and food webs on the Earth.

Cellular Respiration
-----------------------------
Respiration is the general process by which organisms oxidize organic molecules (e.g., sugars) and derive energy (ATP) from the molecular bonds that are broken.
