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.

CoachThe reaction shown (CO2 + H2O -> C6H12O6 + O2) is an anabolic reaction, specifically photosynthesis. Anabolic reactions involve the synthesis of complex molecules from simpler ones, which is the case here as glucose (C6H12O6) is being synthesized from carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).

Is c02 an end product of photosynthesis?
Yes, CO2 is one of the reactants in photosynthesis, not an end product. Oxygen (O2) is the primary byproduct of photosynthesis.
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).
