Answer 1

The true statement is:

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

Plants carry out photosynthesis (converting light energy into chemical energy) during the day, and they also perform cellular respiration (converting glucose and oxygen into energy) both during the day and night. Animals, on the other hand, only perform cellular respiration to obtain energy from food.
