There are choices for this question, namely:


a. amino acids, fatty acids, and glucose
b. glycerol, protein, and glucose
c. fatty acids, amino acids, and pepsin
d. amino acids, fiber, and glycerol
e. glucose, pepsin, and cholesterol


The correct answer is "amino acids, fatty acids, and glucose". In a simpler sense, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose (a monosaccharide) that can be absorbed in the intestines. Fats in the form of triglyceride is are broken down into fatty acids and monoglycerides (not glycerol). Proteins are broken down into amino acids. 

<em>
</em>

<em>Pepsin is an enzyme that aids protein digestion. Fiber is mainly composed of cellulose or plant carbohydrates that the human body cannot break down as we lack the enzyme for it. Glycerol is not released from triglycerides from digestion but instead monoglycerides (only two fatty acids from triglycerides are released).</em>

The answer will be haptens because haptens has the ability of combining to carriers that are large enough to produce antibodies. The large carriers are usually the proteins that binds to it after producing antibodies. The antibodies, ions and reagins does not comply in the question above for antibodies focus more in the immunization. The ions are the electrons that produce positive or negative electric charge and the reagins are the ones responsible in allergic reactions.
