The body will break them down and use them for various processes it needs. Carbohydrates will generally get broken down to glucose,energy source. Proteins are a source of essential amino acids, which the body uses to make its own protein. I am hoping this helps ! Briannaazam :)

They are broken down into simple molecules in the digestive process to be absorbed into the bloodstream.
