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.

sattari [20]

The correct answer is:

A. leaves and dermal

Explanation:

The dermal tissue system protects the soft tissues of plants and handles interactions with the plants' surroundings. The epidermis is a dermal tissue that is usually a single layer of cells comprising the younger parts of a plant. It conceals a waxy layer named the cuticle that inhibits water loss. Plant parts that become woody no longer have dermal tissue as their outer layer because it is followed by periderm or cork. Just as our own covering assists to defend our bodies, the dermal layer of a plant has the same function.
