A green plant synthesizes glucose by photosynthesis as shown in the reaction 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) C6H12O6(s)

Question:

A green plant synthesizes glucose by photosynthesis as shown in the reaction
6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) → C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g)
Animals use glucose as a source of energy:
C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g) → 6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l)
If we were to assume that both of these processes occur to the same extent in a cyclic process, what thermodynamic property must have a nonzero value?
