Electrons absorb energy to move from a lower level to a higher one. They release energy going from higher to lower.

If sufficient quanta/electron volts are applied to a lower shell the electron will move to a higher shell. So I believe photons are given off when the electron moves to a lower shell and the excess energy is shed. According to the conservation of matter/energy nothing is ever created or destroyed.
