My question:
Photosynthesis is required for plants to grow new cells.
My answer:
I think this statement is true because
Photosynthesis is how a plant makes food. When you eat food (when you're a child) you grow. Like a plant. The plant creates food, and eats it. The plant becomes taller/gets leaves/roots grow, it depends on the plant.
Thank you for reading this!
Hope I am right!
Yes, I think your answer is just fine. I might go a bit further given the present concern about increases in carbon dioxide in our air. The photosynthesis is crucial to getting the C back out of the CO2 that we put in when we burn carbon containing molecules to make heat.

Thank you Mr. Damon!
Yes, you are correct! Photosynthesis is indeed required for plants to grow new cells.
To explain how photosynthesis works in relation to cell growth in plants:
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose (a type of sugar) and oxygen. This process takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells, specifically in the green pigment called chlorophyll.
During photosynthesis, sunlight provides the energy needed to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. This glucose is then used by the plant as an energy source for various metabolic processes and to build new cells. It serves as a building block for the production of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and other molecules that are necessary for cell growth and development.
Additionally, in photosynthesis, oxygen is released as a byproduct into the atmosphere. This oxygen is crucial for the survival of many living organisms, including humans and other animals, as it serves as a source of respiratory gas.
So, photosynthesis not only supplies plants with energy but also provides the necessary components for cell growth, allowing plants to develop and thrive. Without photosynthesis, plants would not be able to produce the essential nutrients and energy required for cell division and growth.
