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.
A.
conserve energy
The smaller muscle mass of the sloth, means that it needs less energy to work, allowing it to be able to survive on a less diet.
Most of their muscles are concentrated in their upper body, allowing them to be efficient climbers but very slow on the ground.
If the stimulus frequency is so high that the relaxation phase disappears completely, contractions become continuous in a process called complete tetanus.
What is tetanic contraction?
- When the motor neuron that innervates a skeletal muscle generates action potentials at an extremely rapid rate, a persistent muscular contraction known as a tetanic contraction is induced.
- A motor unit has experienced its motor neuron's maximum stimulation during this state, which lasts for a while. This happens when several impulses with a high enough frequency excite the motor unit of a muscle.
- Every trigger results in a twitch. A slow enough stimulus delivery will cause the muscular tension to release between each succeeding twitch. High frequency stimulation will cause the twitches to overlap, which will cause tetanic contraction.

This is cellulose,because humans lack enzymes to break it down
