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 both plant and animal cells have mitochondria and need energy. Plant cells perform photosynthesis to produce energy, but they still rely on mitochondria for cellular respiration and energy production, especially when sunlight is not available.
