The purpose of the digestive system is to break down food into simple molecules that the cells of the body can use.
Food is broken down into its simplest units called monomers. Proteins are broken down into amino acids, fats are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol while carbohydrates are broken down into glucose units.
Glucose is taken in by the cells of the body and through the process of cellular respiration is used to produce the ATP, the form of energy that cells use. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells use glucose to produce energy to power their functions.

Answer:

Please find what occurs in the single nucleotide-pair substitution below

Explanation:

Single nucleotide-pair substitution is a type of point mutation as stated in this question. Point mutation is when one nucleotide base (single) is affected in the sequence. In this single nucleotide-pair substitution, ONE nucleotide base is substituted by another base.

For example, in a DNA sequence that reads: TAA GTC GGG, a mutated sequence affected by single nucleotide-pair substitution will read as follows: TAA GTC TGG. Note that in the last codon (GGG), a single nucleotide G has been replaced by another nucleotide T. Therefore, single nucleotide-pair substitution is said to have occur.
