The statement that is NOT TRUE is:

**"Animal cells have mitochondria to create energy and plant cells don't need energy."**

This statement is incorrect because plant cells also have mitochondria. They perform cellular respiration to generate energy, just like animal cells do. While plant cells have chloroplasts for photosynthesis, they still require mitochondria for energy production.
