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.

explain why it is important to keep the levels of nucleotides relatively balanced in the context of dna and rna synthesis
juin [17]

Answer:

Read Below

Explanation:

Nucleotides are A & T and G&C you see in DNA and in RNA T is Replaced by U. The reason they must be balanced between G&C and T&A is because G has to bond with A in DNA and G with C so if there is more G than C that means there is mismatches between the DNA nucleotides same thing for A and T. In RNA you follow the same rule. If we have lets say 27% of our DNA as A we have to have 27% as T leaving 23% as C and 23% as G. If there was lets say 29% T while one 27% A then there was a error in DNA replication and could lead to errors in RNA synthesis if not corrected
