By performing photosynthesis, plants create everything they need to build all biomolecules. Is this true? Why or why not?
This is true because photosynthesis produces glucose, and plants only need
sugars, not amino acids or fatty acids.
This is not true because plants need to sequester nitrogen from the soil to
build amino acids.
This is true because photosynthesis produces glucose, which has carbon,
hydrogen and oxygen-the building blocks for all biomolecules.
This is not true because plants need to perform cellular respiration to break
down the glucose into carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

The statement 'by performing photosynthesis, plants create everything they need to build all biomolecules' IS NOT TRUE because plants need to sequester nitrogen from the soil to build amino acids.

Photosynthesis is a series of metabolic reactions by which plants synthesize biomolecules by using sunlight. During this process, plants use simple molecules (H2O, CO2) to create oxygen and chemical energy.

During photosynthesis, chemical energy is stored in the chemical bonds of simple carbohydrates (e.g., glucose).

Carbohydrates are biomolecules consisting of Hydrogen, Carbon, and Oxygen.

Plants require Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Sulfur from the soil in order to to create different biomolecules such as proteins (whose building blocks are amino acids) and nucleic acids.
