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.

The functions of lipids include storing energy, signaling, and acting as structural components of cell membranes.

Example : Fats

functions of carbohydrates in the body are to provide energy, store energy, build macromolecules, and spare protein and fat for other uses.

Example : Glucose

Nucleic acids function to create, encode, and store biological information in cells, and serve to transmit and express that information inside and outside the nucleus.

Example: DNA

.Proteins perform a vast array of functions within organisms, including catalysing metabolic reactions, DNA replication, responding to stimuli, providing structure to cells and organisms, and transporting molecules from one location to another.

Example: Keratin
