Answer:
An oxidation-reduction reaction
Explanation:
[tex]\stackrel{\hbox{-2}}{\hbox{C}}\text{$_{6}$H$_{12}$O$_{6}$} + 6\stackrel{\hbox{0}}{\hbox{O}\text{$_{2}$}} \longrightarrow 6\stackrel{\hbox{+4}}{\hbox{C}}\text{O$_{2}$}} + 6\text{H$_{2}$}\stackrel{\hbox{-2}}{\hbox{O}}[/tex]
Look at the oxidation numbers of the atoms.
Each carbon atom in glucose loses four electrons (oxidation), and each oxygen atom in O₂ gains two electrons (reduction).
