Anaplerotic reactions forms intermediate compounds in biochemical processes.

An anaplerotic is a remedy which promotes granulation of wounds or ulcers, of being granulated.

The carbon fixing reactions that occur in photosynthesis is called the anaplerotic reaction. In most cases, the carbon fixing reactions usually occurs in the marine environments.
