Solution

Protein consists of a series of Amino Acids that are linked together with peptide bonds to form a complete protein.
When you eat food, an enzyme in your stomach called pepsin breaks the peptide bonds to separate the proteins into smaller groups of amino acids called polypeptides, which are broken down further by other enzymes: trypsin, chymotrypsin, carboxypeptidase, throughout their journey through your stomach and small intestines.
These amino acids are the final product of protein digestion

Fat - Fatty acids and Glycerol

Protien - Amino acids
