Plant cells contain chloroplasts. Organelles responsible for photosynthesis.

Answer 1

The statement that is NOT TRUE is:

This statement is incorrect because plant cells do have mitochondria and also require energy. While they produce energy through photosynthesis in chloroplasts, they still use mitochondria for cellular respiration, especially when sunlight is not available.
