After macromolecules are broken down in the digestive process, their constituent molecules are absorbed into the bloodstream and used by the body for various functions. Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose for energy, proteins are broken down into amino acids for building and repairing tissues, and lipids are broken down into fatty acids for energy storage and cell membrane synthesis.
Pepsin helps break down proteins into smaller peptides in the stomach.
Yes, macromolecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, and fats can be broken down by hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction that uses water to break down complex molecules into smaller components. For example, proteins are broken down into amino acids, carbohydrates into sugars, and fats into fatty acids and glycerol.
Lysosomes are organelles that contain enzymes responsible for breaking down macromolecules such as proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates. They help with digestion by fusing with other vesicles containing the material to be broken down.
Tomatoes are broken down in the stomach by stomach acid and enzymes, particularly pepsin. The acidic environment helps to break down the tomato's cell walls and release nutrients for absorption in the small intestine.
Nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream. Starch is broken down by enzymes. Macromolecules are broken down.
Food is broken down in the stomach through mechanical digestion, where the muscles of the stomach contract to churn and mix food with digestive juices. Chemical digestion also occurs in the stomach, where digestive enzymes break down proteins and other macromolecules into smaller nutrients that can be absorbed.

The enzymes that are in the stomach are what causes polymeric macromolecules to break down into smaller pieces so that the body can use them. These are found within the digestive tract of humans and other animals.
Lipids are broken down by lipase from the pancreas, located above the Intestines and below the stomach.
