Well, it looks like a reaction that occurs in green plants under sunlight..........

Carbon dioxide on the left hand side, sugar and dioxygen on the right hand side. Is this magic? The name begins with a $P$ $"P"$ .

What do you call the reverse reaction?

$C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + 6 O_{2} \to 6 C O_{2} + 6 H_{2} O$ $C_6H_12O_6 +6O_2 rarr 6CO_2 + 6H_2O$

The name begins with a $C$ $"C"$ .

How does energy transfer in each reaction?

The equation, 6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O26CO_2 + 6H_2O -> C_6H_12O_6 + 6O_2, is what type of reaction?
