This is true because photosynthesis produces glucose, which has carbon, hydrogen and oxygen—the building blocks for all biomolecules.

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 perform cellular respiration to break down the glucose into carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

This is not true because plants need to sequester nitrogen from the soil to build amino acids.

The correct response is:
This is not true because plants need to sequester nitrogen from the soil to build amino acids.
While photosynthesis provides the glucose that plants use as a primary energy source and a backbone for synthesizing other biomolecules, plants also require other essential elements, such as nitrogen, to synthesize amino acids and nucleic acids. Glucose alone is insufficient for creating all the biomolecules necessary for plant structure and function.
