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 and they require energy for various cellular processes, just like animal cells. While plant cells can produce their own energy through photosynthesis using chloroplasts, they still rely on mitochondria to carry out cellular respiration and generate energy when photosynthesis is not occurring (such as at night).
