All plant cells perform cellular respiration.

All animal cells perform photosynthesis.
All animal cells perform photosynthesis.

All plant cells perform photosynthesis.
All plant cells perform photosynthesis.

All animal cells perform cellular respiration.

Answer 1

The correct statements are:

1. All plant cells perform cellular respiration.
   (Plant cells perform cellular respiration to convert glucose into energy, just like animal cells do.)

2. All plant cells perform photosynthesis.
   (Plant cells have chloroplasts, which allow them to convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis.)

3. All animal cells perform cellular respiration.
   (Animal cells perform cellular respiration to convert nutrients into energy, primarily using glucose.)

The incorrect statement is:

• All animal cells perform photosynthesis.
  (Animal cells do not perform photosynthesis; this process is specific to plants and some other organisms like algae.)

So, the correct selections are:

• All plant cells perform cellular respiration.
• All plant cells perform photosynthesis.
• All animal cells perform cellular respiration.
