An endothermic(requires energy) reaction that builds a larger molecule from smaller more basic ones. An example would be the construction of a protein in the body by joining amino acids together. And yes Oxygen can be used, usually in the form of water. Anabolic (to build), Catabolic (to break down).

A reaction that does NOT require the presence of oxygen to complete

Ooops, got confused with anaerobic...
