1% of the water a tree takes up is for photosynthesis.
5% of the water a tree intakes is for 'making new cells'.
What happens to the rest of the water? Or rather, what is the rest of the water used for?

Water is used as a transport medium for essential nutrients, and it provides the "turgor pressure" - the hydration essential for life.
