Anabolic. If I've read your equation correctly than this is photosynthesis. Although the overall equation looks simple, this is actually an incredibly complex series of reactions involving a number of proteins and electron carriers. However, I think it is anabolic as you are putting together, carbon dioxide, water, and light to make a significantly more complex sugar and oxygen. You could also explain this in terms of entropy; more complex molecules have less entropy while loose carbon dioxide and water have more.
Don't take this as verbatim as I'm no expert on this.

What are the reaction involve in mitochondria?
Reduction/Oxidation reactionBiologically it is a catabolic reaction,breaking of molecules. It also a exogonic reaction
What is the word equation for a general combustion reaction?
Hydrocarbons (which are only hydrogen and carbon) require oxygen to combust, and they form water and carbon dioxide. So a general formula might look something like this:CnHm + (m/4 + n)O2 → (m/2)H2O + nCO2where n is the number of carbons in the hydrocarbon and m is the number of hydrogens. In hydrocarbon equations, it's very possible to have a fraction for the oxygen. Combustion reactions are one of few reactions where it's acceptable to do this. However, some teachers may still ask you to get rid of the fraction. To do this, multiply each compound's coefficient by two (or whatever the denominator is in oxygen's coefficient, but it will rarely be anything but two because the number of hydrogens, m, will almost always be even).
Is o2 a symbol or formula?
o2 is a symbol. A formula is something like O2 + H2 -> H20
What does the o and the 2 represent in o2?
it is a diatomic which makes it O2 and it has -2 charge
Is 02 binary compound?
No, O2 is a molecule. However there are oxide ion (O2-), the peroxide ion (O22-), and the superoxide ion (O2-).
What is the atmosphere composition earth made of?
c02,ho2,o2 ect
When can seedling start to make food?
when there are enough sunlight,c02,o2 and nutrients in the soil
Is CO2 plus H2O arrow C6H12O6 plus O2 an anabolic reaction?
Yes, this photosynthesis is an anabolic reaction, an energy consuming (sunlight), building-up reaction.
What effect does exercise have on breathing and heartbeats?
when exercise,your body lacks o2 and has to much c02 and needs too get rid of it. this increases your breathing and heartbeat.
Which one of the following elements is a product of cellular respiration Water Pyruvate Glucose or Oxygen?
C02 (carbon dioxide), some o2 (oxygen), and a little nitrogen occasionally.
What energy releasing process has oxygean used up?
Combustion reactions are a reaction of oxygen (O2) with carbons (C) and hydrocarbons (CHs) which release chemical energy, specifically thermal heat. An elementary combustion reaction is C + 02 ---> Carbon (C02). In this reaction the O2 is completely consumed, or used up.
How are the concentration gradients in the alveoli maintained?
The heart is constantly pumping blood around the body. blood entering the lungs is deoxygenated and high in C02 The air in the alveoli has a high oxygen concentration and in comparison is low in C02 This sets up a concentration gradient. This causes oxygen to diffuse into the RBC and C02 to diffuse out in order to try balance the concentration. This balance is maintained by breathing, taking away the C02 in the lungs and bringing in fresh O2 and the constant pumping of blood, bringing more deoxygeneate blood into the lungs
Why do human need oxygen to survive?
Oxygen is required for cellular respiration, the production of ATP. Oxygen is an electron receptor in the Krebs cycle with reaction that transforms O2 to C02 fueling every chemical reaction (albeit indirectly) in the body.
What gasses are in air?
There are lots of different gases in the atmosphere, but most of the air around is made up of Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Argon. There are smaller amounts of Carbon Dioxide and Water Vapor as well.

What is the balanced equation when carbon react with oxygen to form carbon dioxide?
carbon (s) + 2 oxygen (g) = carbon dioxide (g) the s stands for solid, and g for gas. it is probably not needed. the 2 in front of oxygen is to show that twice the number of oxygen atoms will be used, as there are two oxygen atoms and one carbon atom in a C02 molecule.
What is 02 and C02 in medical terms?
This has to do with chemistry. O2 is also known as oxygen, because there are two oxygen atoms bound together to make the oxygen molecule. CO2 is carbon dioxide, because there is 1 carbon atom bound together with 2 oxygen atoms to make the molecule.
