They all enter the bloodstream differently

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The food contains three macronutrients that require digestion before they can be absorbed: fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. Through the process of digestion, these macronutrients are broken down into molecules that can traverse the intestinal epithelium and enter the bloodstream for use in the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Large food molecules (for example, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and starches) must be broken down into subunits that are small enough to be absorbed by the lining of the alimentary canal. This is accomplished by enzymes through hydrolysis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Both simple and complex carbohydrates break down into glucose (aka blood sugar).
