hii there

1 ) All organic (naturally occurring) molecules are classified into 4 general categories: carbohydrate, lipid, protein, and nucleic acid. Foods you consume consist of these 4 molecules

2 ) Biomolecule, also called biological molecule, any of numerous substances that are produced by cells and living organisms. Biomolecules have a wide range of sizes and structures and perform a vast array of functions. The four major types of biomolecules are carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins.

3 ) Each macromolecule is broken down by a specific enzyme. For instance, carbohydrates are broken down by amylase, sucrase, lactase, or maltase. Proteins are broken down by the enzymes trypsin, pepsin, peptidase and others. Lipids are broken down by lipases.

Hope it helps

have a nice day : )
