Answer 1

The true statement is: Plants perform cellular respiration and photosynthesis, but animals only perform cellular respiration.

Plants perform photosynthesis to convert light energy into chemical energy and also perform cellular respiration to convert that energy into a usable form. Animals, on the other hand, only perform cellular respiration to obtain energy from the food they consume.
