The best answer is C - to break down food into nutrients.

The digestive system  breaks down food  into its simplest form that cell are able to utilize  for energy.  Food is broken down into its monomer units. Proteins are broken down into amino acids, lipids are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol and carbohydrates are broken down into glucose.

Glucose is then absorbed into the blood and transported to every cell in the body. The cells take in glucose and use it as fuel and raw material  in the process of cellular respiration. From one molecule of glucose, 36 to 38 molecules of ATP ( the form of energy used by cells) are produced.

4. In cats, a gene for coat color is sex-linked. Cats homozygous for allele A have yellow
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Explanation:

You can get 1/4 tortoise female; 1/4 black female; 1/4 yellow male; 1/4 black male.

IT IS NOT possible to obtain a tortoise-shell male primarily because to have tortoise shell one has to be heterozygous. In case of males, they are hemizyogous so they only get one chromosome with the gene because they have XY and we know this disease is linked on X chromosome because different combinations give us different colors.

I say they are hemizygous because For example, most of the genes of the X chromosome and Y chromosome in human males are hemizygous since males have only one X chromosome (and one Y chromosome) (unlike females that has two X chromosomes).
