Why must human body digest large macromolecules into small monomers before it can use them as an energy source?

Large macromolecules need to be broken down into small monomers because they are too large to be absorbed by cells. Digestion breaks them down into smaller molecules that can be transported across cell membranes and used by cells for energy production. This process is essential for providing the body with the necessary nutrients it needs to function properly.
