The statement that is true is:

Plants perform cellular respiration and photosynthesis, but animals only perform cellular respiration.

This is because plants are capable of both photosynthesis (converting light energy into chemical energy) and cellular respiration (breaking down glucose to release energy), whereas animals only perform cellular respiration to obtain energy from organic compounds.
