Ents (and Huorns) were tree-like, but I don't see a way to explain them in purely scientific terms.

I'm sure there are many other ingredients in Ent draught, but I imagine sugar may be a major component of it. As for photosynthesis, Ents probably don't to do much of it because they have too few leaves. Thus they need the Ent draught to compensate for the lost nutrients.
