No, photosynthesis and digestion are two separate things.

Autotrophs (also known as primary producers and plants) are organisms (such as grass and phytoplankton) that can create their own food and which typically use photosynthesis to synthesis (make) nutrients like sugar and carbohydrates (its food). In photosynthesis, energy from sunlight is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars (which it lives off of) and oxygen gas (which is expelled for animals to breath).

Heterotrophs, on the other hand are, animals that feed of of other organisms. They consume autotrophs and/or other heterotrophs and digest them to get their nutrients. In digestion, food may enter the mouth, become broken down in the stomach, and have the nutrients absorbed in the intestines, cumulatively called the digestive track.

How does digestion connect photosynthesis to respiration?

Sorry to disappoint you, but digestion DOES NOT connect photosynthesis to respiration. Photosynthesis and respiration comes from plants and animals, when the animal breathes out CO2, and they receive the oxygen when the plant inhales the CO2 and breathes out oxygen. That's it. And the cycle repeats just like that. NOTHING with digestion. Trust me.
