I just want toss my two cents in on two things.
First- in the Enterprise episode "Dead Stop" Phlox discovers the elaborate copy of Mayweathers corpse is a fake because of the organisms he vaccinated with should still be alive but they are dead. The station is able to repilcate a copy of a human body down to the last bit of DNA, but is unable to replicate a living singel celled organism. Federation replicators can't even do the copy of a dead human, so their inablilty to replicate life is not that surprising, life is complex.
Second- the holodeck may use life plants but it doesn't mean it replicated them, just pulled them out of storage in the transporter buffers. Since the holodeck uses the transporters and replicators both along with it's holo-emiters. also applies to the question of does the replicator make the cups and bowls, it could have the patterns in the buffer and just fills them with the food.
Replicators?

Basically living things and really complex molocules. Sort of a low resolution transporterbeyond hope wrote:from the star trek database:
They couldn't replicate a vaccine in TNG "Code of Honor." The nanites in TNG "Evolution" are built in a plant in Dakar Senegal, implying they can't be replicated. Enterprise has to stop by a starbase for new dilithium crystals in TNG "Booby Trap," so they must not be able to replicate them. Worf's blood couldn't be replicated in TNG "The Enemy." The list also includes dicosillium, caviar (accurately,) hytritium, chlorinide, and biomimetic gel. TNG "Data's Day" tells us that replicators produce "single-bit errors," also seen in TNG "The Mind's Eye" where they can identify the different molecular "fingerprint" of a Romulan replicator.
For I dipt into the future, far as human eye could see,
Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be;
Saw the heavens fill with commerce, argosies of magic sails,
Pilots of the purple twilight dropping down with costly bales;
Heard the heavens fill with shouting, and there rain'd a ghastly dew
From the nations' airy navies grappling in the central blue;
