Question
Proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids are eaten by organisms, and then digested and broken down into smaller subcomponents.
What happens to these subcomponents?
Question 4 options:
They can be absorbed by cells and used for cell functions to maintain homeostasis.
They are all connected again, and then absorbed by the cells so they are ready to be used immediately.
They can be flushed out of the body immediately to prevent the build-up of waste inside the cells.
They are all used for energy by the cell to produce ATP so the cell can continue to function.

The correct option is:
**They can be absorbed by cells and used for cell functions to maintain homeostasis.**
After digestion, the subcomponents of proteins (amino acids), fats (fatty acids and glycerol), and carbohydrates (simple sugars) are absorbed by the cells and utilized for various cellular functions, including energy production, building cellular structures, and maintaining overall homeostasis.
