The correct statement is:

**Anaerobic respiration occurs in a few plants and all animals and slightly breaks down glucose.**

Anaerobic respiration does occur in various organisms, including some plants (such as yeasts) and many animals (e.g., during intense exercise in humans). However, it does not completely break down glucose; instead, it results in products like lactic acid or ethanol and carbon dioxide, depending on the organism.
