Asked by Sam

Which type of reaction listed below is an example of an anabolic reaction? (Hint: which equation represents photosynthesis?)

6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
2H2O2 --> 2H2O + O2
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O
H2CO3 → H2O + CO2

The first equation: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

This is photosynthesis, an anabolic reaction because it builds a complex molecule (glucose) from simpler ones (CO2 and H2O) and stores energy. The others are decomposition/catabolic reactions.
