When we consume different macromolecules, our bodies break them down during digestion and absorb some of them (most of what we eat is not absorbed). 

When macromolecules enter our bloodstream, they become available to our body's cells to use as energy. 

The graph below depicts the different macromolecules present in our bloodstream after eating.

Use this information to answer the questions.
