"Plants undergo both photosynthesis AND cellular respiration." — True.
Brief explanation: Plants make sugars by photosynthesis (chloroplasts) and then break those sugars down by cellular respiration (mitochondria) to produce ATP. The other statements are false: photosynthesis occurs in some bacteria and algae too (not only plants), respiration occurs in plants as well as animals, and photosynthesis produces sugars (not net ATP) while cellular respiration breaks down sugars to make ATP.
