Answer:

The correct answer is -

Protein - amino acids

Glycogen - glucose or monosaccharides

Fats - fatty acids

Step-by-step explanation:

Once protein sources reach the stomach of an individual, An enzyme called proteases and HCl break these proteins into small amino acid chains that were bonded with a peptide bond, thus protein macronutrient is absorbed in the form of amino acid.

Glycogen is stored in the muscles and liver for energy and digested into glucose by enzymes called amylase and maltase.

Fats are the main source of fatty acid in the body and help in providing fatty acid for the body requirements.
